Would You Upgrade Your Factory Car Radio With Aftermarket Navigation Unit?
Most high-end new vehicles now come equipped with in-dash navigation systems where the driver can access maps, plot out the fastest route to a destination, and avoid traffic congestion on busy roads and freeways. While some base models don't come with large screen navigation system just with basic car radio system, would you upgrade the factory car radio unit with an aftermarket navigation unit?
Commonly referred to as GPS navigation device, a built-in unit has many advantages that can help the driver save time, money and frustration.
Using your starting and final destinations, the system can map out the most time-efficient route to get you where you need to be. The more hi-tech versions can tap into traffic and congestion data and inform you if there are any anticipated delays. You can avoid traffic jams and wasted time sitting idly on a freeway. Some units even offer rear-view imaging, so that you can have better visibility when parking and backing up. This can come in really handy in tight spots or at night, when visibility is naturally diminished. Speed limits are reflected on your screen, so you can easily see if you are below, at limit or above limit while driving.
In addition, these devices can also help you locate specific points of interest based on your location. Need to fill up at a gas station? Want to grab a burger? Searching for a museum or zoo for family day? A navigation unit makes it easier than ever to find what you are looking for. Simply type in what you need and the navigation system will give you plenty of options for the nearest matches. This is a very helpful tool when travelling in a new city or state; naturally, you will not know where every hotspot is- the GPS tool will help you find what you need.
Most systems have “hands-free” voice-activation, so that you can stay focused on the road while plugging in your destination details. This is equally beneficial for making voice calls without risking a ticket, or an accident!
For a reasonable price, you can upgrade your system and throw out the paper maps for good.
If you have an older vehicle that is fitted with a standard factory car radio, you can still enjoy the benefits of an aftermarket car dvd player navigation system. Some of these units go for as low as $150, with higher technology models going up to $1,500. Whatever your budget, you can find an aftermarket car dvd navigation unit that will suit your needs.
One of the added benefits of these systems is their capacity to act as a media system, as well as a GPS tracking device. Most of the in-dash systems are compatible with USB, smartphones and Bluetooth. This means that you can easily hook up external media to your car and enjoy music and videos from your personal collection. You will additionally have access to standard AM/FM radio and usually a CD/DVD drive is fitted into the technology.
If you have children, you can have additional screens fitted in the backseats to keep the kids quiet with a movie or TV show during long drives.
For just a few hundred dollars, you can transform your driving experience! An Aftermarket car DVD player navigation unit reduces stress, saves time and money, and alleviates road rage. Drive in style, safety and luxury with a navigation unit: you won’t regret this purchase.

For those who have a Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204 like C300, C200, C250, etc, you can upgrade the factory stereo including a small 5.8 inch screen in the dash with an aftermarket Mercedes-Benz W204 navigation head unit, which gives you a new 8 inch high definition touch screen.

If you want to check more pictures when installing this W204 navigation by DVDGPSNAV technicians, you can check this video on youtube:
However, there are some installation tips for new installer.
- Firstly you should prepare a special installation tools kit, so that you can detach the original screen unit and radio easily and avoid damage on the surface.
- If your Mercedes Benz C W204 comes with fiber optic cables from the factory wiring harness, then you will need to move these fiber optic cables to the new plug which connects to the back connector from the factory radio and CD player.
If you did not move the fiber optic cables, there may be no sound after installation. The sound from the new W204 GPS will be transferred from the original AUX function, so make sure your W204 has a working AUX. - If there's no audio/sound after installation, firstly you should check the above step to see if your car has fiber optic cables, if yes, then move them to the correct positions. Then you can check if you have set in AUX mode from factory menus, this is the most probably reason why there's no sound, this is the feedback from one of our customers after done this:
"Ok thank you I found the issue I did not have it in aux mode and the volume selection was muted , everything works great now thank you ."How to activate original AUX mode?
1. Firstly click "Original" icon at right of top menus of the new screen, so that you can enter the factory menus.
2. Insert a CD disc into the CD player, the screen will display CD playing, then select "CD', enter, and select "AUX", enter, then the factory AUX mode activates and the screen will automatically change to new UI. - From the original plugs, there are a small white plug and a black plug which used to connect the back of the original screen, you don't need to connect them anymore.
- There's a small speaker included in the package, this is used for the sound from GPS voice. So if you connect this small speaker, the GPS navigation sound will come out from this speaker so that it will not influence other sound from Radio, CD, USB, iPod, etc.
- Normally the factory functions can still work after installation, in case there's anything wrong with the factory function, you can carefully compare the factory plug with the new plug which connects to the back connector of factory radio and CD player to see if there's any wire missing connected from the new plug, if yes, just move it to the new plug. You can also take some clear pictures and send to us for further checking.

Can Aftermarket BMW E46 Navigation Support 6 CD Changer?
Sometimes during installation of an aftermarket BMW E46 navigation, you may don't know how to make the CD changer working, even doubt if the unit supports factory 6 CD changer?
BMW E46 usually comes with a factory Alpine 6 CD changer, for those who want to upgrade the factory BMW E46 radio, they may have a doubt that if the aftermarket BMW E46 navigation can support the factory 6 CDC, the answer is yes. If your new BMW E46 navigation is the same as this:
BMW E46 usually comes with a factory Alpine 6 CD changer, for those who want to upgrade the factory BMW E46 radio, they may have a doubt that if the aftermarket BMW E46 navigation can support the factory 6 CDC, the answer is yes. If your new BMW E46 navigation is the same as this:
Then you are able to use the factory Alpine 6 CD changer. However, please make sure your CDC is original Alpine, other brands or not original Alpine can not be supported! Besides, you should make sure your original Alpine 6 CD changer works well before the installation.
For BMW E46 after year 2002, the car should be with 40 pins flat plug, and before year 2002, it's with round 17 pins plug. If there's a wide screen in the dashboard, the 17 pins or 40 pins plug is in the trunk, then you will need a long cable which runs from the front dash to the back in the trunk. By the way, this BMW E46 head unit also supports steering wheel control.
No matter which cable you use, the short or long one, you will always need to connect a CDC plug or CDC wires with your factory CDC wires.
- For BMW E46 after 2002 year, there's a small 4 pins black plug to connect, below is a pic for your reference:
You just need to connect the above 2 plugs together, so that you can use the original Alpine 6 CD changer. If not, CDC will not work after installation of a BMW E46 navigation head unit.
- For BMW E46 before year 2002, the car is most probably comes with 17pins round plug, the aftermarket 17pins cable does not have the CDC plugs as 40pins cable. But there are 3 loose CDC wires including CDC-L, CDC-R, CDC-GND. If you want to use the Alpine 6 CDC, then you will need to connect these 3 wires with your car's CDC wires. You can check the wiring diagram from the factory unit, so that you can find out the factory CDC wires: CDC-L, CDC-R, and CDC-GND. CDC-L means left audio for CDC, CDC-R means right audio for CDC, and CDC-GND is the ground wire.
Conclusion:
The aftermarket BMW E46 navigation unit can support original Alpine 6 CD changer, as long as you have done the right things as above. If you use the flat 40 pins plug cable, then you just need to connect the CDC plugs, if you use the round 17 pins plug cable, then you will also need to connect CDC wires(CDC-L, CDC-R, CDC-GND) directly with the factory ones.

This new radio dvd is going to be installed in a 2010 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback, see the dash picture as following:
1. In order to get the factory car radio out, firstly you will need to pry off the metal strip on both sides, get a plastic pry bar and slowly pry from the strip/trim sides until you can pry from the bottom to the top. Because there are 4 buckles on each strip. The bottom 2 buckles are plastic which is easy to pull out, and the top 2 buckles are metal.

What Can Aftermarket BMW DVD GPS Navigation Head Unit Do For You?
To the car navigation systems enthusiast and more so BMW car owners, the BMW DVD GPS Navigation Head Unit is the perfect choice for real time car entertainment in as far as quality High Definition (HD) display, quality sound system and detailed navigation are concerned. Depending on the model of your BMW car ranging from the BMW 3 series(E46 or E90), BMW X5 E53 or BMW 5 series E39 and many others, you can choose a BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit that is suitable for you according to your car model.
The aftermarket BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit can do a lot for you as it has been experienced by a number of BMW owners. As mentioned above, this system has a wide full touch screen that allows you to make fast selections for your specifications on the factory menu and the new menu for GPS navigation, USB, DVD player and even the iPod. The screen from the BMW navigation system helps you to keep your kids entertained by playing some DVD movies and cartoons hence less distractions from the children which helps you to concentrate on driving.
The wide screen also offers you convenience. Through its clear pictures one can be able to see clearly the rear part of the car as you drive backwards on the reverse mode if you connect it with a back up camera. This advancement in technology means that the old method of reversing you car by turning your head backwards to check whether you are driving safely so as not to hit the trash-bin or the wall at the neighborhood is a thing of the past. And the new head unit supports your steering wheel controls through a CAN-BUS decoder.
Through integration of the major functions of the main dashboard components such as multimedia, radio, telephone, contacts and navigation into one system with a single controller, the driver is able to make hands free phone calls via Bluetooth connectivity. This reduces distractions so the driver is able to concentrate on driving and avoids causing accidents.
Another benefit of installing the BMW navigation system in your specific BMW car model is that the system enables the driver to receive real time traffic information so that the driver can avoid traffic congestion. With the IGO GPS maps offered for free by most navigation re-seller outlets, the driver is able to track the traffic condition of major road networks that would affect the traffic situation on the roads they are using.
One more benefit that is worth mentioning is that after it has served you diligently for your many navigation and car entertainment needs and you decide to upgrade your car by selling it and purchasing another, the car command is a greater resell value than when it lacks the navigation system.
Since many BMW drivers consider cars with an already installed GPS navigation head unit as more desirable than those without the system, they are willing to spend more to acquire such a car and this assures you that you will get a higher return when you decide to sell you current BMW model with an already installed aftermarket BMW DVD GPS navigation head unit.
