Running GPS on lower end head units

[Sen26]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering whether there is any way to run gps on lower end car head units such as the KENWOOD DDX4016BT or whether there are any third party devices to enable this facility on these units.

It would be quite interesting if it is possible to do so rather than splurge cash on a higher end unit just for this purpose.

Any advice and leads would be much appreciated.
 

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you use google maps. You can buy cheap android phone or tab for this purpose. You will get frequent OTA updates for free.

I think your unit should be compatible.

You can install the navgo unit from Pet#o, it costs around 24k i think.

Just check with them if your unit is compatible.

This would be the easier and cheaper option, but I would very much like to maintain the existing head unit and not have to mount another device.
