I am planning to install an OEM Navigation Radio in my not Nav equipped 2007 Escalade. I have a Tech2 available and have heard about the workaround to programm the Unit.
However, i did not find the recommended SI Document 1745049.
Simple question: I am looking for the SI (Document ID # 1745049). But cannt find it anywhere on the web. Someone can help me and tell me where to find this Document?
Or does anyone have a step by step intallation info on how to do that programming setup with the Tech2?
While we are on the subject of programming Nav units.
Is it possible to take an 07 nav and program it like an 2010+?
They 2010 has the virtual path when you back up and my 07 doesn't. Is that a firmware thing?
Rob, i dont know about that - Sorry! However, there are a bunch of different Supernav Partnumbers out there....
I just had a look in the 2007 Escalade Service Manual and cannot find detailed instructions to programm the Navigation unit. I once programmed a new BCM to my Escalade. Is it just the same procedure i have to do? It is called "learning the restraints ID"???
Don't know, but my dealership tried in vain for 3 hours to do this. Ended up having to send it to a guy off eBay who actually opens the unit, re-programs the EPROM directly and flashes it with the factory new code (which leaves the serial number blank) then sent it back. Upon installation, it learned the new car's S/N and has worked flawlessly since then. $90 bucks including return shipping.
Just to let you guys know: Programing a unit from a different Escalade was no problem at all. I used a Tech2 to relearn the VIN from my car to the Navigation unit. Upgraded the software and all is working fine. Installation and programing just took 1 or 2 hours. Because mine is a 2007, i used the "Montecarlo solution", found here in the forum...
I even was able to change DVD regional code of the DVD player to Code 2 (i am living in germany, we use code 2 here), using the Tech2 and changed RadionFrequency setting to Euro specs (100MhZ steps, instead of 200MhZ)
Regional Code2 for europe:
