Adding Sat-Nav to VE II SV6

[Kinng]

Hey guys,

been hunting through the threads but haven't found exactly what I wanted.

Can someone run me through the cost and process of adding sat nav to the all ready installed (from factory) IQ unit in my car?

When u hit the Nav or Maps button, it comes up with it being unavailable.

I've seen ASX Tech has xbox in his, so it cant be that hard.

Did a quick google look. For some reason I can't post the link to JHP
JHP in Melbourne does it for $1,687 if they fit it or $2750 if you do it yourself but if you do it yourself you can get $1200 back by giving them your old IQ system. (They sell the old system to people with Series 1 VE's that want the IQ system in their car.

Nah, I don't have it. Looking at upgrading it through JHP, I'm in SA so I'd have to go for a drive there and have them do it.

You can try an after market system, will still have map upgrades for a few more years, since apparently Holden aren't doing map updates for the iQ

These 2 integrate into the iQ unit

VE SERIES 2 COMMODORE NAVIGATION OUT NOW!!

Haven't tried either, but have been thinking about them.

That first link looks pretty good, I might have a look at that instead of getting whole new IQ system just for SAT NAV.

Few different post on here detailing emails from customer service and even dealers saying that the IQ updates will be discontinued after the 2013 update.

There is one other option available....

1) Purchase an used IQ unit from fleabay (Make sure that the unit has Sat Nav, and that the seller is not just saying that it has SatNav because it has a NAV button on it.
There have been a couple that have been sold recently for around the $700-$850 mark

2) Send it to someone like Ultimate Conversion Wiring to have the VIN number matched to your car (And get the driving lockouts such as video in motion, etc enabled / disabled whilst he has the unit

3) Fit the IQ unit with Sat Nav to your car

4) Sell your Old IQ unit on fleabay for $500-$600 to those people that are looking to retrofit an IQ unit to their Series I commodore.

This will work out much cheaper than going aftermarket (once you have sold your old IQ unit), and you will end up with VIM enabled, and factory nav that integrates with the cluster and steering wheel controls.
