Add Navigation to 2003 Honda Accord LX
I have the opportunity to buy the OEM navigation system for a 2003
Honda Accord. I bought my 2003 Honda Accord without the navigation system. Has anyone ever tried this before? I'm worried about the fit and about the wiring. Thanks. Rich |

I'm worried about the fit >and about the wiring. I suspect it's significant work to get the NAVI into an LX. The idea had crossed my mind, but after some investigation, I'm not sure it's easy. I have an LX-G (Canadian version) and I know to get something as simple as the steering wheel audio controls from an EX into the LX-G is impossible without replacing three cable harnesses. I spent a several hours working with the poor kid at the dealer, poring over their part explorer tool and the Mitchell wiring diagrams. My guess is the NAVI is even harder, as it likely would need to integrate with the ECU for reading wheel speed, plus you need to plug in the GPS receiver. For example, the main dash harness (like $800, Honda part cost) is completely different between LX and EX. As a result, I doubt the NAVI would go in easily, as the LX harness likely does not have a provision for it. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the NAVI component? Calum |
