    Has anyone transplanted the factory NAV system and display into a car that came without it? I have a customer that wants to do this on a 06-08 car that he hasn't purchased yet, since he cant seem to find the one he wants with NAV already in it.

    Before I spend hours researching on TIS, I thought I would see if I could learn from one who went before me..

    Thanks in advance.

    I think it would be cost and time prohibitive getting all the sensors, new steering wheel, new MFD surrond plus all the other pieces. Buy a garmin and be done with it

    I appreciate that, and your recommendation is probably the sensible one.

    I have a unique situation here, though. I have a donor car with all the parts and a guy who REALLY wants the transplant done.

    I am just curious if anyone has done it and would be willing to share their experience.

    Not clear on how steering wheel relates to gps.

    Nav equipped Priuses have map, info and voice command buttons on them.
