Nav 950 - caspyrp - 20:th-Jan-2019

hi is retrofitting a Nav950 ieasy enough and can i keep my DAB and USB (currently have cd400)

RE: Nav 950 - Rusty2009 - 22:nd-Jan-2019

Easy if you can program it and know the wiring changes needed.

in regards with the USB the USB goes directly into the back of the radio rather than via the module.

If fitting a Navi950 2 data wires need adding to the DAB module so it functions and it has to be the U4D DAB module.

a few owners have replaced their aftermarket radios with the Navi950 because it's so much better

RE: Nav 950 - Rusty2009 - 25:th-Jan-2019

They are hard to come by when you see one grab it.

RE: Nav 950 - vocky - 25:th-Jan-2019

I presume it the fascia that goes round the screen.

i tried to ask the seller if they had the fascia but there not taking messages from ebay so probably going to wait for a complete kit 


RE: Nav 950 - Rusty2009 - 28:th-Jan-2019

yes they have taken the screen surround off, you can buy them from gps or dealer.

Hi I’ve just added a dab unit u4d module to my navi950 but nothing do I need to do a update ?

Yes the radio needs programming so it knows it has DAB.

Vauxhall will charge you £175 in programming costs alone.

I charge £110 via the post.
