Nav. system

[32 VALVES]

how hard is it to put a earlier nav. system in a 95 740i, I remember seeing a post on one of these forums but I cant remember... what exactly do I need to take out of the donor car, I think its a 97 740i with the smaller screen with the tape deck and controls to the left of the screen. I do know I need the screen and the cd rom player in the trunk and the wiring, is it worth the headache... :help

I did the retrofit and when finished i ended up with:

Nav
Sirius
Aux inputs
Here is my write up and the second one is Martin's:

I think it was well worth it.

thanks for the info, but the donor car has the smaller screen so does that mean its navigation or maybe just for the radio? Its a 97 740il...

The small screen (4x3) supports radio & the nav info. The larger (16x9) screen does the same thing, but with a bigger/wider screen.
