Are Navi600 retrofits still available or even possible? I'd love to get some info on this.

Cheers.

CD400 TO NAV500 UPGRADE

So you may have heard ANDY from VXMODS has fitted the NAV,500 To my astra j today
i had the CD,400 as standard and Andy has done alot of research to make this work
so as his slogan says he is doing the things that Vauxhall and many others have said can not be done
everything works on the NAV 500 SAT,NAV and USB he also reactivated the Bluetooth and DAB
that i had already retro fitted so you will not lose the Bluetooth if you have already had it retro fitted it will still work
here is a before picture with the CD,400



here are a few random pictures of the NAV,CD,500 that has just replaced the old CD400 unit







DAY AND NIGHT MODE DISPLAY
this can also be set to automatic.





DISPLAY OPTION PICTURES.
 




















I am over the moon with this retro fit
and its another astra j VX.O.C first
i now have the nav,500, USB, DAB AND Bluetooth and all are as factory fit.  
i knew if anyone could do this it would be Andy from VXMODS
so if you have any questions or want more info on how this was done
VXMODS have there own section on here in the trader section
sure he will be working out prices for this retro fit very soon.

SO THE QUESTION CAN THE CD400 BE UPGRADED TO THE NAV500 on the Astra j THE SIMPLE ANSWER IS YES IT CAN.

So despite what you may have heard on other forums this is now possible
he also says the NAV,600 should work as well
Also if he can get the NAV,600 to work then there are retro fit software updates
to turn the NAV,600 into the nav800 and nav900 upgrade
so that will be very interesting.

i can also say if you use a second hand NAV unit
the NAV disc will already be installed on the NAV and all the info will be there when you swap it over
i did get the disc as well with this so i have if for back up.

also if you want the Bluetooth and DAB to work they will have to be retro fitted separate
and the USB will come as part of the NAV unit.

If you are looking for a NAV unit from ebay etc
you will need the NAV unit, the NAV screen, the correct front display, and the tray for the USB. and the shark fin for the GPS







ANDY CAN NOW DO THE NAV600 AS WELL
So NAV500 and NAV600 can be done Astra J and GTC.

I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE LOOKING TO DO THIS TO CONTACT ANDY FROM VXMODS FIRST
BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING....look in the trader section

All inputs are then sent via one wire to the radio BCM etc.

They way a navi unit is wired compared to a 400 is alot of wiring changes it's not just 1 one wire.

I'll dig the pin out out for you later.

I have a 2011 insignia with the CD400 DAB and USB factory fitted system and basically want to add Nav and Bluetooth.
I know i will need a whole unit to upgrade, but i'm struggling to find one suitable.
I looked on IceBox and it seems daft that i can get an android unit with nav and bluetooth, but without DAB. I dont mind paying extra for bluetooth and Nav, but to pay extra on top of that for DAB when i already have it, is very annoying.
Having read through this thread, i see the CD 400 can be upgraded to the 500, but all the pictures i'm seeing have different facias to mine - does this matter?
I have found second hand genuine units on Ebay, but again the facias, in particular the lower buttons console where all the heating controls are, are different in that they dont have the heated seat buttons etc. Again, does this matter or am i able to leave the existing panel in there?

As for my competence, i have been doing straight swaps on older cars for years, but have no clue about modern programming etc. They've moved  on a lot since the old single din aftermarkets. If its a simple case of removing panels and dash for a straight swap, then i can do it myself, but if it involves more than that, is anyone local to do it for me?
Thanks for any help
