I am thinking of putting 2008 M35 Navigation into 2006 M35
Will it be easy as changing 2008 M35 Navigation screen and control panel??
or more work needs to be done??

you're in unknown territory my friend. there are documentation on installing OEM nav system to 06-07 car but no one has ever attempt what you're trying to do. if somehow this is a success, please do us all a favor by posting your DYI.

my take on it, i don't think the physical layout of the center console (where all the buttons are) will fit. that and all the connection and wiring will also be a nightmare to go through. Best of luck though as you're a brave soul in attempting this.

Didnt someone install the 08+ control panel in a 07-? Not sure where his post went but I recall him having to change the button positions for dest and route.
