I just bought an 06 FEH & it has the POS factory NAV in it.

I say POS, because I have this setup:

in my 05 FEH & it's awesome & I'm not sure I can live with the limitations of the factory setup after being spoiled by the Eclipse unit(it's made by Toyota/Lexus)

If I remove the factory NAV & CD changer, is it worth anything to sell???

I think the Hybrid display is kinda cool, but not really necessary(I could live without it) & I use my NAV an awful lot & want the awesome screen/features of the Eclipse more than the Hybrid display.

It would only be worth something to a fellow FEH/MMH owner....and probably only to someone who broke their own. Those vehicles that did not get it from the factory sound like they do not include the wiring and antenna to make it work easily so they probably wouldn't buy it. Besides, anyone looking to add it would probably be looking to go the same route you did.

Current ODO: 22,909
Typical Drive: 20 min crosstown in heavy traffic (3.5mi there and back twice a day)


457 Gallons of gas saved
That's 9,150 lbs less CO2

That's true, anybody with 1/2 a brain isn't going to pick the factroy NAV to add to their vehicle........

1/2 a brain or not wouldn't matter... from the information I've seen posted here the harnesses are different. You can't hook the NAV into a vehicle that didn't have one installed in the first place. So the only person that could even use it would be someone whos NAV died. Or they'd probably have to do alot of wiring,

Well, that certainly makes it a limited appeal item then............

Yea. I $0.50 toy compass would be a better choice.

Best single LD trip: 35.3mpg

Maybe save it to put back in the car when you sell it, leaving the nice unit for continued use in your next car?

Yea, that's probably what I'll have to do.
