bramfrank Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Welcome to the group. While you can always use a dedicated navigator or even your smart phone, the infotainment system in the DJ was voted the very best in terms of it's intuitive interface and ease of use. I also did the upgrade, as have a number of members.The good news is that you already have everything you need in the vehicle with the exception of the GPS decoder. The bad news is that the GPS module is part of the vehicle's radio module.So you will need to buy the appropriate radio module - the generic model is RB5, but there are a range of part numbers for it. The module can be procured for between $600 (on eBay) and $2,000 (from your dealer) and is a 5 minute installation (then you move your Sirius subscription from your old radio to the new). It DOES require an unlock code to be used in your vehicle - we have a member on this board who can provide that information to you when the time comes.

jkeaton Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yes you can. Depends on how deep your pockets are. bramfrank is spot on. Welcome to the forum. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Welcome to the forum. I use my iPhone 6 for navigation, because if one part of the radio goes bad goes bad, your SOL with your radio. The Dealers do not fix them; they send them out for repair. Your new radio will not be covered under your warranty because it did not come from the factory. My iPhone 6 has the same size screen as my friends Garmin, and offers the same features. If you are dead set on this, try oemautoparts.com Many of their radios are Dealer take outs, and all are bench tested, and if there are scratches on on the screen, they will replace the screen. jkeaton and rolly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why you included that last sentence, since there IS no screen involved in this upgrade. As to where you buy it from, buying from eBay, for example is a no-brainer since you get their buyer protection and a full refund, including shipping if there's a problem. There are VERY few 'dealer take-outs' of Nav radios - people do NOT downgrade to remove the feature, so keep that in mind. As to warranty, your dealer can be your very best friend in that regard, should you have a problem. Where he has the will, he can find a way. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
