Default Sat Nav retrofit?

Still on the search for a Cayenne. One thing that's cropped up is that cars without Sat Nav (PCM 2.0?) appear to be much cheaper.

I'm always keen for a bargain so is it possible to retrofit the sat nav system with bits from a scrapper? Is it a fairly simple DIY plug and play job? Any special equipment or knowledge needed?

Depending on what you buy, doable but pretty huge job

You'd be better off with an aftermarket double DIN nav system from a company like Kenwood or Pioneer.

+2, and get all the gadgets you want and harnesses to retain any OEM functions.......take pics if you do it.

I have the CDR23 and just have resolved to get an entry level alpine cd player or pioneer that has a usb plug to charge and play both my android and iphone jukebox I have on hand. I like using my separate GPS or google maps on G2X android over any fancy smancy big head unit.

If you find an used vehicle that used to have a PCM system with BOSE sound, MOST network and CAN BUS, you could probably install a PCM withou much hassle.

I'm working on a fleet of circa 2004-2008 Cayennes and found many variations in the sound and GPS system that lead me to think factory workers installed PCM prep packages on a whim.

If you are not scared of tackling trim and wire works, I'd +3 for an aftermarket system. They are much more fun and versatile than the PCM.

Good luck!
