Istvan_Sz Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi I own a Legacy 2008 2.0R. Here in Sweden we can buy used stuff outoff crashed cars. I´m wondering. If I buy a working orignal Navi to my car from, maybe an crashed Spec B. Legacy. What do I need more? The original LCD screen and Navi cd-rom? Maybe an antenna? Anybody knows? Thanks in advance.

zmarko Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We can do the same here in the states (purchase things from wrecked cars). A few people have done it here, but it's a costly process unless you can get a good price on the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Road Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Here's what you need (well I needed in the US) Nav Screen Nav DVD Rom Drive Rom Drive to Screen cable Antenna with mount Power plug for DVD Rom under the seat Power plugs for Nav screen behind dash Two brackets to mount DVD Drive under seat Couple screws and nuts Think that was all. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan_Sz Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks guys for the replay. Here's what you need (well I needed in the US) Nav Screen Nav DVD Rom Drive Rom Drive to Screen cable Antenna with mount Power plug for DVD Rom under the seat Power plugs for Nav screen behind dash Two brackets to mount DVD Drive under seat Couple screws and nuts Think that was all. Was it worth it? I mean, by price and by installing everything in the car? Or is it easier to put a hand held GPS by for example TomTom?

Windy Road Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 If you can get the screen, the dvd drive, the dvd to screen cable, antenna and the three needed wiring plugs for dirt cheap then I say go for it. I only did it cause I like the look of the factory system. Though if your doing all that you might be able to build a carpc for cheaper. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVXdc Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The OEM Navi HU in European Legacy/Outbacks is different than in USDMs. Europe gets a single unit that combines the radio (with disc player), A/C control, and nav DVD drive. There is no under-seat module. It still has a separate display unit, plus the GPS antenna. See this thread: EU / AUDM 2008-2009 Legacy / Liberty OEM Nav - pics, information, discussion You might ask Visionhu -- he "transplanted" a European Navi HU and display into a USDM LGT. Although he said it displays English units (miles and Fahrenheit), I think if you install the Navi into a European Legacy you should immediately see km and Celcius. Your Legacy's 14-pin radio harness (for power and speakers) will work. Also, your car's 8-pin A/C harness ("i88") should work. I can provide the 24-pin Navi harness (has pins for parking brake, reverse gear, vehicle speed, and more -- see link in my EU / AUDM Nav thread). As the others said, it might be worthwhile if you can find the parts inexpensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istvan_Sz Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thank you all for the answers, but I can´t get the kit under 5500 SEK (about 750 USD, and 555 Euro). 5500 SEK is to much for a used Navi. It´s just uneconomical if you compare it to an HTC Desire. So I think I´ll stick with an HTC Desire as a GPS and sound source (via AUX). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
