Hi group,

I am a Total Newbie and just picked up a 2010 xB with the Alpine Head unit, is there a way to buy the Navigation unit and upgrade my Alpine to have Navigation...

thanks,

Saliya

There's always a way. You just have to buy the navigation add on for the unit and install it like any other aftermarket DVD indash unit.

 

I just purchased a Stingray Metallic 2010 xB today. I asked the dealer about the navigation add-on and they told me that it's not in their system yet. I assume that it's be a fairly simple plug-in type upgrade, possibly some variant of the below:

Thanks, I am researching as well, I bought the same color with 5 speed...I am also checking into Bluetooth setup.

 

Finally got the part number and price of the nav add-on for the 2010 Alpine premium HU.

PT545-00100

$670.00

Other than above, I don't know anything about the unit.

 

That's a lot for the add-on. And the navi screen is relatively small. Barring some new development, I'll probably be selling my Alpine HU and going with any number of double-DIN solutions.

 

Pioneer avic-x910bt
here's the link for the specs, but I'm sure you could find it cheaper.. just look around

Yeah, I've been looking at the AVIC series from Pioneer, primarily for what appears to be a very robust hacking scene (avic411.com).

 

I almost forgot...

WELCOME TO THE LIFE!!!!
