That looks like it fits great..do you have a finished, installed pic?

Nice job.

That looks pretty slick. Post up some finished pics. I'd like to do this same thing, Where did you get the nav. bezel from?

Anybody know where to get one any cheaper?

 

Not likely going to happen... we sell at 20% off MSRP, at that price they are around 30% off. Which is even cheaper then we sell to wholesale shops in our area.

 

looks good wonder If my garmen would work nice job

 

I was thinking of some black plastic to match my Garmin and use it as a spacer.

 

I am in love with this mod, everything about it it. I am def going to do this, however I wonder if there is a way to get one that has bluetooth and wire the mic on the gps to a mic in the truck somehow. Also I think I will install a switch somewhere hidden just as a power cutoff. Amazing though one of those things that is relatively simple after you think of it, but it took someone to think of it! Great Job!

 

+1 on where to find the bezel cheaper

 

Here's one more. So far, this thing has been working great.

The actual routing isn't as good as my Garmin Nuvi, or Navigon on my iphone though. It favors interstates way too much. It's not bad, but its routes tend to be 2 or 3 minutes slower on average. Also, the draw distance doesn't extend to the top of the screen when you're on back roads. It will sometimes look like you're driving into a dead end, but as you get closer, the road extends.

There's an update out for it, so hopefully that will fix it.

 

so did you have to get a different radio faceplate as well as the bezel?

 

Yeah, will the nav bezel work with the non RF stereo?

 

Found out that you have to get a different radio faceplate as well if you want it to work, does anyone know where to get these and how much they cost?

 

You can use your existing faceplate, just have to trim it down.
Plenty of peoples have done it, just. search here or CT and clubarmada "carputer" ect....

 

Yes, I used my original radio faceplate, but I had to cut the about 1" off the top of it. I clamped a straightedge to it and drug a razor blade across it about 100 times.
The RF and standard faceplates are the same. The nav radio faceplate is different and is tougher to make work, so don't buy that.

 

why would the nav faceplate be harder to work? Just curious since its the one its made for... please explain

Thanks

 

so she can be wired for reverse camera? I got the amazon screen up its on sale for 189 just wonderin how the reverse camera function works, i already got a camera from my old truck. Thanks

 

i think he's talking to the part that surrounds the actual radio, like with the volume control cutouts and since the nav system doesnt have an lcd screen for like radio station and whatnot, it would be harder to make fit. Might be wrong but that's what I got out of it

 

According to this Nav Install - Nissan Armada Forum: Armada & Infiniti QX56 Forums it looks like the only difference would be the two little round edges on the faceplate from what I can tell anyway......


EDIT: after looking I see that he probably cut this where the lcd goes, however I think i would rather cut that area out then having a raw edge up top where the bezel and faceplate meet just mpo

 

Goofus: Have you hooked up a reverse camera to it yet? Ive read that they might not be compatible but I have the 1700 and am going to install it soon as the morons from the online nissan parts place ship me my bezel.. Ordered it on christmas, you think it would be here by now, theyre only in jersey..

thanks

 

Yes, I actually have a problem with the video input. I didn't have a reverse camera, but planned to get one, so I tested it with the video out on my digital camera. Sitting on my desk, it worked great. As soon as I powered the camera on, GPS would switch to that image. After I installed it though, it didn't work. I got the image to flicker once, but that was about it. I figured I might have gotten a defective unit, but I didn't care that much about it and didn't feel like removing it to send back. Sounds like it might be a common problem on these though. That sucks.

I did see these for sale at Costco yesterday for $199 though.

 

jesus mine was 300 at bestbuy. i hope the reverse camera works thatd be a big plus to having it mounted in dash

 

Nice job, that looks great.

 

That is SWEET. Nice work.

 

great mod A+

your going on my list of obvious inventions right next to the snuggie guy

 

This is awesome, i was looking up the dimensions of the OEM screen and the magellan 1700 to see if it would fit before i bought the bezzel and came across this post. Thanks!!

 

look around at other units besides the roadmae 1700. I'm less than satisfied with mine

 

How do you pull out the entire original bezel?? I have a non nav Titan and want to pull the entire bezel out?

-J

 

Here is how I did mine. I used your idea, but we built a bracket to mount it so it is mounted to the dash not the bezel..

 

How do you remove the dash bezel and is it hard
Thanks ZAPPER

 

that looks sickkkk
