I am currently having a 2005 DB9, which sadly doesn't come with a SAT NAV. Even though I have heard so many negative comments on the SAT NAV, I still hoping to retrofit one to the DB9, so that I can also install a phone mirroring to the screen and can maximize the utilization of the screen. Does anyone has actually try to retrofit the SAT NAV before or done something similar? May I have advice on what components is required for installing the SAT NAV and makes it works. So far, I have got a second hand screen, SAT NAV DVD player and the controlling knob. I have had them all plugged in, but the screen just doesn't rise up and I can hear that the DVD player is playing. Is there anything else that is required for making the system works, e.g. hardware and/or software maybe?

+1 for James and Lenny. If I didn’t have sat nav in mine then I don’t think I would go down that route at all. They have just fitted Apple CarPlay to one of mine which enables me to use Waze for navigation and not have to worry about updating the sat nav and also keeps me up to date with traffic issues. It really is great.

They also have a phone mirroring solution that may be worth considering. I would definitely have a chat with them thumbup

Please update us with how you get it sorted.
