I have on 05 tC and I want to get the factory navigation. I never got one aftermarket because I was waiting for this! Now that it's here I'd like to find out if it will fit my car before I spend all that money on it. I posted my question inside of another thread but it's not being answered so I figured I'd post it here and see if I have any luck.. I hope so. If not I'll have to try to get someone that works at the dealership to get me a final answer.. and you all know how that can be sometimes.
Thanks for any help/answers!

 

as far as ive heard, itll fit, but the wiring harness is diffrent. but this will require to remove the radio door. i personally say get after market

 

it will fit, but it won't work without some modifications.

yeah, the better choice would be to just pick out an aftermarket navigation system anyway.

 

So you want the 'o8 Scion Alpine Navi? No offense but there are better and cheaper navis out there.

Anyways, yes it will fit. But you will need a different harness for it to work on the 'o5.

Lastly, you're going to have to drill new holes on the stock brackets so the radio cover can close. (That goes for any Navi HU.)

 

i dont know if it fits lol BUT i have it on my 08. its awesome...if its what you want, GET IT....dont let anyone push u in the direction of aftermarket if thats not what you really want! good luck!

 

That being said its ridiculously priced. You can get a VERY nice after marketnavi for what the Scion one costs

 

you'll get it back in resale value....whereas dealers dont usually give you anything for an aftermarket, and chances are you'd pull it out anyway. like i said....its about what YOU want! It was all about convenience for me, there no way im gonna take a G into any place and hand it over for an aftermarket...MONEY would burn a hole in my pocket halfway there!!! added it at purchase, done deal!

 

So it can be done.. keep the door with the nav? I really want to keep the door since there's so many shady people in this town.

And thanks to everyone so far for all of your replies. If any of you have any suggestions for the most factory looking and fitting aftermarket nav, I'm willing to take a look.

 

If you're looking for something that will bolt right onto the factory harness, will allow you to keep the radio door, and work just as well, if not better than the alpine unit, check out the Eclipse AVN series.

I have the Eclipse AVN5435 and i LOVE it. There was no cutting involved. The only thing that had to be done to make it fit perfect was drill new holes on the mounting brackets so that the door could close.

I'm not sure how much the Alpine unit costs, but about a year ago the Eclipse system cost me $990 off of Crutchfield.com. The alpine system cost TWICE that.

 

Looks like you got your answer, and if that's what you want go for it - but for my $0.02 I think you really need to think this through.. An aftermarket system will be able to perform just as well and provide you with more functions (if you spend up to the amount of the Scion Alpine you could get systems w/ HD space, Portable Navi's, Bluetooth, etc.) and look like it came out the factory unless anyone is familiar w/ the scion brand.

 

If you get the Scion navi, you'll have to remove the radio door.

 

They have to remove your radio door
and either use an aftermarket harness, or cut up the stock harness so the SNS plugs in

 

i vote d3. i have one i love it. z2 is also great .

awesome ipod integration, bluetooth, clean. need i say more?

 

Okay, I found the Eclipse AVN5435 as mentioned above for $799 (sale!) and I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm going to go with. It's still clean looking and has all the features I really need for A WHOLE LOT less than the SNS. I can also keep my radio door this way which is a huge deal since there's an ungodly amount of car thefts and break-ins in this city.

Thanks to everyone for their advice!

 

ok im sory to revive such an old thread but where can I get the harness needed to run the this alpine sns in my 06 tc? and is that harness all i need? and again sory for the thread revival but I couldnt find this info anywhere.
