I recently traded in my 2003 BMW X5 4.6is for an 07 GC SRT8. The SRT8 I purchased didn't have NAV. I just bought a NAV on ebay and the dash "bezel" part from JEEP to be installed. My question is, has anyone ever done this? The NAV bezel part looks like it needs to be modified/cut to fit my dash correctly.

Do you have a link to the eBay auction?

No, just checked. My wife did everything while at work. The NAV came from an 06 GC.

Can you fit an 06 Nav in a 07 and will it work?

I was told by JEEP it would, I just ordered the bezel part to fit the NAV.

I was looking to get a pic of the bezel part from the eBay auction. The bezel should be part of the hump above the nav/radio, I believe. It comes out as one piece.

Thought the CAN bus was different between 2 years. Last SRT chat session last night someone asked if they could retrofit the backup camera from an 07 into an 06, but engineers said no due to CAN bus being completely different between the 2 years and suggested going to a 3rd party backup camera. I assume there may also be issues in the opposite, as you are trying to do, put an 06 NAV into an 07 ?
Let us know how you make out.
