8.4” non nav to 8.4” nav

[Rustin5]

Has any anyone done this swap?

I'm sure it can be done, but why? Just plug your phone in and use Google Maps/Waze/Apple Maps for free on the 8.4 screen.

You can even download maps in Google Maps for use offline if cell signal is a concern.

Seems like a lot of work for nav. Apple car play and Android auto work good for nav .

I honestly just want it to be able to change themes on the displays and have the gloss black bezel. Not really interested in the nav function, and don’t really care for the 12” screen

Ah, ok. Android Auto certainly won't do that for you, lol! Not sure if it's simple plug & play to swap in the shiny nav unit or if there is any kind of programming (like adding your VIN to the unit or having to use AlfaOBD to enable the themes in the cluster). Hopefully someone who's done it will chime in.

Here's everything you need with instructions. Not cheap!

Not sure if you already have the w/nav radio but someone was selling one on here. Link below...

I understand the gloss black bezel, makes the whole screen look larger and better for sure, it's the only reason why I insisted on it on my truck, the factory NAV is barely serviceable compared to Google maps.

I wonder if you can get the bezel wrapped instead?

I saw this post that’s actually what made me consider it! Looks like at minimum I’ll need an lvds cable, and some sort of programming. Infotainment has a proprietary connected as it appears this unit as additional plug I don’t have. May have to call them to talk it though

I haven’t considered that. I wasn’t sure if it would be able to separated in order to make it look right. Thanks for the idea

Absolutely, take it to a good shop, they are likely to have methods to get it done correctly.

However, here is a link for one for sale on Ebay, if you check the pics, the one that shows the back side look like it can be unscrewed and separated pretty easily, though not sure.
