I guess it depends on your sense of adventure and soldering skills! but did you post #249 about by @Z06jerry ?

I don't want the feature bad enough to solder on a connector and hope the rest of the support is "in the box" so I sold the cable. Was just doing this to complete the Nav update so not a big deal in the end

yeah same for me, except I left the cable still routed lol. I should pull it and sell it. I’m experienced with soldering but I’m wondering if the circuit board has the connections mapped and I don’t mind that much either as I use CarPlay as it has traffic.

Is there anything I would be missing without the cable? Except the nav display in the cluster, of course.

My guess would be that the cluster has everything programmed for LVDS input. I see the option to add NAV to cluster regardless of MY in PIWIS. For me, it is not worth soldering the connector since the cluster is so expensive to replace if you screw up.

Ack, thanks. I will pass on getting the cable then and messing with the cluster. No plan to use the Nav except in the rare case if I get out of the cell range and/or forget to download offline maps.

So the '17's and '18s are missing the fakra connector on the back of the cluster
. Has anyone (attempted) to add the cable to a '19? My buddy has a '19 w/o factory Nav that we activated with MIB-AIO. He would like to add the LVDS cable but now isn't sure as he doesn't know if his cluster has the connector. ![Confused](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)

I’m in the process of doing the DIY now but I’ve run into an issue… using the new method, I made it as far and the SVM fix/backup. This is about 3 minutes into the DIY video walkthrough. The PCM went into reboot, but never started back up. The battery is showing as charged via the external charger that’s hooked up to it. The key is still in the ignition. Not sure what I should do at this point. The PCM did show NAV and maps. Is it ok to pull the key out of the ignition as to power up the PCM again?
