Default OEM Navigation Retrofit DIY

***Update***
Please use the AIO method to enable NAV, CarPlay and Android Auto.
Here are the latest links for the AIO method.
Follow post 56 here.
Instructions from MIB Wiki
https://mibwiki.one/share/30b7c0f9-a...1-20f4309ef4bb
You need to have the GPS antenna already installed to install this. My 2021 CGTS had it installed. I don't know if most of the 2021 or 2022 MY all came with the GPS antenna.
The whole process to patch your PCM and load the Navigation map takes about an hour. I highly recommend that you use a battery charger when doing this. Press the CAR button on your PCM and go to Set => System => Software Update => Version Information

You should see this screen




Write down your version number, you will need this to patch your unit later.

I followed the thread from @CaneTLOTW here and downloaded the MIB tool and patch from this website
https://mibsolution.one/#/1 (username and password is guest)
click on M.I.B. and download the two files below.




Format your 32 GB SD card to FAT 32.
Open the first file M.I.B_3.3.3_20220618.zip with 7-Zip.



Double click on the folder and you should see this.



Select all the files and extract to your 32 SD card
It should look like this now.




Open the second file M.I.B_Patches_20220625.7z and select the folder matching your PCM




Go to your 32 GB card and open the Patches folder and extract the folder from 7-Zip








It should now look like this




Your 32 GB SD card is now ready to patch your PCM.
Format your 64 GB card to FAT 32
Download the Map from here https://mibsolution.one/#/1/15/MHI2(Q) (username and password is guest)
Go to Maps => MHI2(Q) and download P85_N60S5MIBH3_NAR_NT_Q1.21.




The fie is over 21 Gb and will take a while to download.
Open the file and extract it to your 64 GB SD card.
It should now look like this.



Your 64 GB SD card has the maps loaded (Canada, US and Mexico).


Disclaimer. I am not responsible for any coding done to your car. Try at your own risk. If you are not comfortable modifying your car, you should not attempt this.
Big thanks to @rnlst_log @Westcoast @CaneTLOTW and others

Go to variant Info



You should see this now



Scroll to the bottom on to the next screen and check Feature Tel, Feature Navi and Feature LTE



Scroll down and click on Reboot Unit
After the PCM is rebooted remove the 32 GB card.
Insert the 32 GB card to your PC and make a copy of the Backup folder.




It is very important that you make several copies of this folder as it contains your setting to go back to stock.

Now you are ready to load the maps.
This will take between 20-30 minutes.
Insert the 64 GB card to Slot 1
Go to the Developer menu



Go to Software Update then SD1



Click on Standard



Click on Start Update.




The PCM will reboot a few times.
After all the maps are loaded you should see the NAV and MAP tiles on your PCM screen.

Coding NAV with PIWIS 3
The Navigation will need to be coded to the instrument cluster in order to see it in the TFT.
I added the Navigation, Online services and Connect package but the last two are optional.









Click on Save and go back to Automatic coding by selecting all the modules in your car.
This will code all the settings to your modules.

Connecting the Cluster to the PCM.
You need to buy the LVDS cable part number 9P3-979-001.




The PCM removal is pretty straightforward remove the side trim on both sides and remove four screws.




Slide the PCM unit forward and locate the Grey connector.
Plug the Grey cable connector to the back of the PCM Grey connector and route the cable to the instrument cluster behind the PCM to your left after you remove the instrument cluster.




I used this video to remove the instrument cluster but not to stop my odometer


After you remove the cover from the instrument cluster, move the cluster towards you.
Locate the Blue Teal connector and plug in the LVDS cable




You don't need to remove any cable, just make sure that you don't scratch the instrument cluster.
Reinstall everything and enjoy now.

I already had it installed. You can check if you have it or not with MIB or PIWIS. What year is your car?

It's really easy. Just pop a 3rd party antenna (Fakra Blue C Female Right Angle) behind the sport chrono cover. If you have a center speaker there should still be enough space. https://rennlist.com/forums/718-foru...l#post17704536

2022. The MIB GPS check is not really working for me as it shows a "-" instead of open or OK.

I applaud you guys for hacking your own car.

I would never attempt something like this since electronics/ programming and me don’t mix. I’ll probably end up bricking my car.
