plankton007 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 You mean you want to upgrade your nav to the latest 2011+ version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plankton007 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 As far as I know you replacing the whole navigation unit to the 2011+ one is the only answer. Unless someone can prove me otherwise. I'm not 100% sure on the price of a 2011+ nav unit. Maybe you can ask around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton007 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 To be honest the new navigation systems are a little slower than the old ones from experience. I have used both the pre 2011 navigation systems and post 2011 systems and the pre systems are slightly more responsive (especially when typing addresses into the nav unit).

s.gregory Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 This was one of the first questions I asked when I acquired my IS.. from what i gathered it's not a simple software/hardware upgrade, more needs to be done than just swapping for a 2011+ nav unit. For me it just didn't seem worth it for something that realistically i would hardly even notice. It would be much more interesting to be able to have the USB functionality that comes with the newer models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexdon Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 So can you add a USB port to an older (2007 sports luxury in my case) audio system? How about upgrade the Bluetooth to support A2DP so I can play music streamed from my phone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I CU2 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 No but USB may be possible with an aftermarket route but your CD player wouldn't work anymore as it uses that plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
