It seems I always end up upside-down in the process and have to continue to pay for the previous model even after commiting to a new one. I've also found that eventually they all seem to blow a head gasket now and then. Must be the nature of the design.

the audio output from the navigation ecu taps into the factory (jbl) amplifier's left front speaker output. all you have to do is re-wire it to the center speaker. if you're unfamiliar w/ car speaker wiring i would recommend you take it to an car audio shop.

So Ashe, do you happen to know which color the nav ecu wire is that is going to the left front speaker? Of course it is raining here (something that it very rarely does here) so as soon as it stops for a day I am going to tackle this project.
