Seen these for sale in HouseOFF etc. How do you fit them? I have a navi but the disc tray or something is broken. Would I need it professionally plumbed in or could I do it myself? Presuming I know how to take off the dash bezel (I don't but it can't be that hard).
Nissan quoted 7man to fix mine, which is bullshit.

Yes - a dealer would be your most expensive option. But a Yellow Hat, or one of the other parts and services shops - could do it cheaper and would have access to any necessary mounting or missing items. You might want to share the model number before you purchase - just to make sure that they can indeed do it, and what that cost would be.

If you can get the same make/model as the broken one, then it's just plug and play. Originally Posted by skankfish215

Some makes you can get a wiring loom adapter so it just plugs straight in.
But if you're not a big DIYer then I'd agree that Autobacs, Yellow Hat or a small specialist shop would be your best bet. May be better to ask them before you buy the replacement unit, to be sure they'll be able to fit it.For I am nothing, if not critical.

Thanks guys.
My car is currently at the body shop after an ojiisan ____ed it. I went there yesterday and had a look. It has had the entire right side removed, and the floor, and the windscreen, and the dash/steering wheel etc. I wonder if I could claim the disc tray problem as a result of the crash and get them to fix it...
