I would like to get the OEM nav computer for my 02' Escalade.

I have seen a few on E-bay, but they all say for 03' or newer.

Does the OD Nav work in an 02?

If so, what model, part #?

Where is the best place to buy the nav computer and how much should it cost?

Thanks,

Mike

No, the OEM NAV will not work with the 02 Escalade. The wiring is all different, and the NAV headunit has more of a role with the on-board computers. Easiest/cheapest solution is After-market. Do a search, it's been talked about before.

Sucks! You would think it would be possible but in looking at my Dad's 04 compared to my 02 you can tell they added a lot of nifty stuff to the radio/computer/steering wheel setup since the first year of the newest escalades.

Thanks for the info guys.

I suppose it is worth getting lost to save $1,900+ for the OEM nav unit.

Just get an aftermarket unit that will replace the head unit. Good installers can me them look stock.
