Hello, First im not concerned with the navigation..just would like the navi cause its looks better!! I got an 04 with Bose 6cd indash, can I put the 05 navi in and would the wireing for the radio and cd player be a plug&play hook-up? Thanks !

Just a comment: The only reason I got NAV in my 06 was because of looks too - it just looked "empty" to me without it. I knew I would rarely use the NAV for navigation purposes. I did not get it on my Lade. It still looks empty, but not quite as bad. If I had to do it again, I would have lived without the NAV on my 06. It made some simple radio functions complicated and the fingerprints on the screen annoyed me. The 07+ NAV units seem to be a little better in terms of radio functions - but fingerprints still a problem for finatics, like me.

So, unless you want NAV for the actual navigation, I would think twice about upgrading.

Reason that im not concerned about the nav is i have my own (Garrmen)..Second Complication & Cadillac go hand & hand..(change your headlight or fog bulb)...Mine has everything, everything so i really cant complain just in my eyes the nav screen looks Kool !...Thanks for your responce but i still didnt get my answer>>>> Next up

Hey Brooklyn, Let Me Know What You Find Out About Installing That Unit. I Have A Non-nav 05 Srx And Bought The Factory Nav Unit, They Tell Me I Need The Amp To Go With It And Even Then It Will Still Be Difficult For It To Work. Let Me Know If You Make Anything Work.
