(1) Touch Screen Display (2) Control Panel for Display (3) Faceplate / Climate Panel (4) NAV Unit / Radio Receiver
Cars with an '07-09 NAV System only require parts 1 and 4.
Cars with a BOSE Audio System (non-nav) require all four nav parts.
Cars with a Base Audio System require all four nav parts and need to: (5) Add an amplifier to power the car speakers.
Base Audio System cars with no factory rear camera should also: (6) Install a microphone, for voice communication.

---------------- END OF PARTS LIST ----------------
With the correct parts all you need is to either purchase a Harness Adapter Kit such as: https://www.ebay.com/itm/333982567715
https://www.ebay.com/itm/333958203751
Or Get a Factory Harness From a 2010-15 NAV Vehicle, and then pin-out, cut, & splice the connectors to your existing harness, using the FSM wiring diagrams as a reference. In some cases, additional wiring (like for the microphone) would also need to be fabricated.
And that's all there is to it.
Hope that helps.
