8" Touchscreen Upgrade from Base radio Install guide.

If my car does not have navigation, does this include what is needed to now have navigation?

If you have a base radio this comes with everything required. If you already have the my ford touch screen then this would be a pointless swap as all you have to do is buy a navigation card

You also need the proper antenna for Nav.

I tried searching for that setup on ebay but couldn't find it, can you link the one you bought?

All cars have the nav antenna. Should only need a nav apim and the SD card. Not sure, but the acm may need to be programmed as well.

What was the cost and where did you buy this kit? Did you have to buy anything else or just a easy swap? How long did this install take?

eBay link to kit:

So all I have to do is buy this kit and install?

Thanks! I'm just worried a little about doing this. This would be my first radio install. This just seems to easy!! And for just over $300 why not. How would you update the system?Sorry again I'm not very tech savvy.

Not sure how you would update but the new system comes with a usb in cord which I assume would be one way of updating.

I agree for the money why not lol it's cheaper then most pioneer units on the market

Oh, wow. That looks good. This is going to be a thing.

ETA: Assuming I do this kit, how difficult would it be to upgrade speakers at a later point? The base system is honestly rather lacking in many aspects, and while I generally only listen to podcasts when I do listen to tunes it would be nice for them to sound as if they're not being piped through a full can of Pringles.
