For some reason this thing I did will help PPL in taking parts out for their car not to just Install the Navi but to install other things or to just replace Interior parts + also electrical parts since every thing had to be taking off LOL.

Wait a second..3k? Dang, that 2k fee for the Navi in when we bought the car doesn't seem too bad now.

Wonder if we could just buy the housing with LCD screen, and get everything else installed in another fashion.
