Nav to Non-Nav Conversion Walkthrough (4 Viewers)

Thanks. This project is a mild nightmare. I migrated from an 80 series, and I've done the PHH and a full egr delete. This wiring crap is almost worse. I had to get my ecu/ecm loose, and I'll likely have to unwrap the harness all the way to just above the glove box latch. as of last night, 2 of the short wires cut, extended and soldered.
All of this did allow me to get a bunch of abandoned stuff removed (that weird speaker for one), those t-taps were part of some audio/comms stuff that a previous owner had in the rig. I'm half expecting to find a dead grom or some other unit in the center console. I had 2 in-line fuse wires in the passenger kick panel that were both disconnected with fuses lying under the carpet.

How hard was it to find the parts? While my Phoenix PX6 has a lot of nice features, it's a rather imperfect solution, and I've already had one crap out on me. The replacement boots slow and has kind of crappy visibility with polarized sunglasses on, even with me putting a filtering screen protector on it. So, I would not be opposed to doing a non-nav conversion so I could run any Android head unit.

I think it is getting harder and harder to find the parts as the GX got pretty popular.

If you can find them, then, IMO, it’s hands-down the best quality of life mod you can do for this truck.

If only Eldar was still active on the various GX forums. He made and sold a harness extension to save the headache of extending all the nav / HVAC harnesses yourself.

0 on eBay and only 1 on Car-Part.com (in TX). Guess I'll continue to live with the PX6 .
