hey all, not sure if many have asked this in the past, but i have a 2010 A/C 3.5 SR loaded, but the only options that the car didnt come with was the Bose DVD/NAV with the rearview camera...... im trying to locate that H/U and camera. I would like to put in a kenwood screen with nav, but i dont want to loose the handsfree buttons on the steering wheel or the mics in the rearview mirror......

Also, if im lucky and find someone selling, or a place to buy that unit, what kind of work should i expect when installing? basic plug and play im assuming, right?

Does the factory Bose H/U have the Nav built into the unit? or does it have a separate "brain box" ?


anyways hope someone can help me out. thanks in advance!!

If you have the Bose non-nav system, it should be pretty plug and play. I don't remember for sure though. The FSM should tell you if the connectors are the same. I'm pretty sure you'd have to run the wires for the backup camera though.

With an aftermarket unit, you would lose the phone buttons on the wheel as well as the mic. That's how my car functions and it isn't a problem for me. Aftermarket will look and sound much better and will probably be cheaper as well...
