I'm looking for a 2002 - 2004 M45. I want Nav and a wood steering wheel.Can I retro fit them?

It appears to have all the buttons needed for the Nav. Can I buy the OEM unit and install it?

And can a Q45 steering wheel of those years be installed in the M?

Thank You

where are you in H.E.? Im in schaumburg

Just an FYI ... there is no 2002 M45. It came out as a 2003 originally and there was only one additional model year sold (2004), before the new M was released as a 2006 model.

No, unfortunately. The OEM NAV unit has a bigger screen ... would not be cost-effective to rip out the entire dash and replace the screen, the full electronics, etc.

You would be better off getting an M that has it in already, or get one of the Garmin or Magellan after-market, portable units (also sold at Radio Shack of all places!). Magellan introduced a new model recently that is quite impressive. If you want more info, drop me a line, and I will look up the model number.

I have to admit, I have absolutely no idea! Hope someone else chimes in on this question.

Yes I'm in H.E.

Audi tech?? My brother could have used you..he just blew two turbo's. LOL

Oh...so the outside is the same, but electronics behind it are different. I kind of like the OEM, so maybe I'll just look for one installed.

Thanks for your reply.

I definitely could have helped with that problem, Im actually doing a set of turbos now on an A6. If he needs any other work let me know as I would be happy to get some extra work this time of year

Yes, that would be best!
