Many thanks and best regards
Some have indicated that the original cable will work you just have to position the one side that goes to the rear of the display in a manner that allows it to seat the connector properly. It involved twisting the harness so you can get the correct position to get it into that area and connected. I went ahead and bought the correct cable, but based o what I heard, I tried out my original harness for the 5" display and i was able to get it connected too.

Good Luck

Can someone make a quick video on how to retrofit. I am extremely interested in retrofitting, but I am scared shi%$*ss!!! Also does anyone know the answer to these two questions:
Can European Comand units work in the US?
Is it essential that one installs the ac blower?

1) I have seen one person do it but they had to load US NAV, but then there were issues. So if you are thinking about buying a EURO NAV and using it over here - not a good idea.


2) If you were in Northern Canada, you might be able to get away with it, due to the extremely cold environment, but even the guys who live in Norway are including the Axial blower in their retrofits. Since you are in SoCAL, not a chance put it in. Kinda tough for the commonly skilled folk like myself to install, but for those expertly skilled people like VV, it was not an issue. I got everything in but that and tried for a while (did not want to drop the steering wheel) and the bailed and went to the dealer.

GPS satellites are difficult to read through the aluminium case. Put the black plastic side upwards.
