Hi forum

My NV200 van has a bog standard bluetooth radio. All very jolly. Except, I realize how easy it is to rip apart my dashboard and tear it out if I want to. I'm woo'ed over by the integrated sat nav head units that Nissan do on the next model up. Lots of eBay breakers have them, too. Is a swap possible at all? I suspect it might work but I don't want to lose my steering wheel controls.

Any thoughts? Here's some pictures. First from my vehicle with the existing unit exposed.

You probably need a GPS antenna that plugs into the blue socket.

The ebay one looks like it have two white sockets on the right, whereas yours just has one plug.

If it were me I'd buy it anyway (making sure the breaker includes the GPS antenna) and try it. If it doesn't work, stick it back on ebay.

The other plastic connectors don't look the same size/shape/quantity.

It might work with effort but it won't be 'plug and play'

You will also need a GPS antenna (as mentioned above)
