acgaj Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hello all! I am looking to get the wife a 09 MKX, but it does not have factory installed navigation. Can I install a aftermarket unit in it? I know I may have to cut the plastic around the old controls or get a new piece (preferred). Will I be able to use the existing plugs behind the radio? Please help! it's a good price and don't want to loose the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you should find out if the non-navigation harnesses have hookups to the Vehicle Speed Sensor. If not, you'll need an aftermarket unit that doesnt require this wire. I think the JVC units are like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivingEdgey Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 If it has the Synch option installed, you can get turn by turn navigation instructions delivered through your stereo. This is an additional service that can be purchased on a yearly basis. As the original owner of a 2010 Edge, I was offered a free 3 year trial of the service.
