Hey guys... Looking to swap brands - from Toyota to Nissan. Just drove a 2008 LE that has everything I'm looking for, e.g. 4x4, Black/Tan, great miles, good price... But no nav. I'm wondering what's involved with putting nav - factory nav - in an '08. Is it just a matter of swapping head units? Are the nav units readily available, e.g. salvage... Or, should I hold out for an Armada with nav?

Thanks!

Cheers from the staff here at NICOclub! Glad to have you here in the Armada Forum!

Good choice on going for a 2008. Certainly stay '08 or newer (there were a lot of nice major improvements for '08). There is really no known way of adding the factory Nav to a non-nav model. I would certainly look for one with the nav on it. Use car.com, that works best, especially if you are willing to travel a little ways to get what you want at a great price.
