Changing Radio....

[powerpuff mookie]

Hi,

I didn't find the information I need on the site. So, I created a new topic.

My IS200 is a 1999 french Pack Luxe with the OEM satnav, the external amplifier and the 8 speakers.

After trying to connect my ipod to my headunit (13902) with the Grom and the Xcarlink interfaces without good results, I'm thinking about changing my headunit. But I know that the satnav work with the OEM headunit.

Is there a way to change radio and keep the satnav without breaking parts of the oem headunit ?

Fargo used to make a lead to do such a thing, dont know if he still makes them though. Your best to PM him.

hey there, i THINK, but im not 100 percent sure, that if you changing the head unit, the sat nav will still work, but you will lose the audio from the sat nav system.

in other words you wont hear the woman giving you the directions.

did you have much luck in getting your money back with the Grom?

It's more easier with the sound.... and I love women !!! I will contact Fargo...

For Grom, I sent them 2 mails (one one tuesday and another one yesterday) but I get no answer... And you ? You get news from them ?

You will lose the Sat Nav if you change the OEM stereo.

You have three options:

1. get hold of fargo and buy one of his bypas units.

2. take your stereo apart and strip it down to just the main board, plug the sat nav lead in and hide it away behind the dash

3. splice all the leads and run them to the boot and put the complete head unit in there!!

I have done option 2 and has worked fine now for a year!!
