Hi Ian, welcome

Kenwood nav unit? Not factory fit unit?

Factory fitted Jap nav unit is Alpine. This can be converted - I have done heaps

Can do Jap phone to Euro Bluetooth conversion - I have done one - at a cost though:-

Ipod - a couple of options

PM me for rundown

Thanks Grant

Have attached some shots, I cannot see a brand on the DVD, the module next to it is an Alpine. The HDD is Kenwood HDZ2570its, it has a SD card slot. Also some screen shots if this is any help.

sorry could not work out how to attach to a PM

Ian,

The DVD nav unit in the enclosure is the factory Jap Alpine unit - Take out & chuck over your shoulder & fit retrofit replacement to get nav running. Done heaps.

Kenwood unit - not OE fitted - not sure exactly what its there for either - maybe it's been integrated into the car via video module:-.

Hook on user name to get send message option - I will to you.
