Navigation Update

The maps disc is nav only so the radio software is untouched there is a way but it would take a lot of workTxao1051 said:
Plus the labor and time involved would be better put towards a car pc(which btw is wicked) I had a radio that ran windows ce and it worked great but the radio has died and I haven't had the chance or time to fix it(if I do fix it I will upgrade the amp chips in it)
It's almost like building a computer for home use just have to adapt it to use in the truck and also have to use a special software interface to be able to use itTxao1051 said:
There is a few sites online(I have thought of doing this myself since I am good with computers I just don't have the time nor do I feel like give up the stock nav just yet) do a google search on carputer or car pc there is a lot of people doing this most of them use a older Mac mini(with intel processor) because it is a small machine with a DVD drive.
Just keep in mind that you will need a interface for the truck for the audio and the steering wheel controls
I may someday get into doing something like this but not now although I don't mind helping anyone who does
It not as complex if you know what you are doing with a computer but the work on the hardware side can be a bit tedious as you have to have a place to mount the computer plus router the cables for the touchscreen (which has to be small enough to fit in the stock radio location)Txao1051 said:
It's all in how much work you are willing to put into the project
I know how you feel about the snow my back gives me fits when it snows

2005 Escalade quote. Is this fair or am I being taken?
Cadillac Escalade, EXT and ESV Forum - 1999 - 2006The car has been making noises while on idle and after a turn it would get stuck on a sound that was like a raving noise. Diagnosis was the following items were done and needed replacement. I don't feel these prices are fair . What do you think? Alternator replacement including belt change $535...- 10

Sometimes a rig is the fix you need
Cadillac Escalade, EXT and ESV Forum - 1999 - 2006I posted about changing out the driver's seat foam to the Seat Shop foam a couple months ago. Well, when I removed the seat control panel on the side of the seat, all the "sleeves" for the screws were broken. I figured I'd just get a used one off of eBay, and shrugged it off. Checked out...- 4
