Another Sucessful Navigation install

[H2FAR]

I picked up model 1580000 navigation for my 05 Lux the other day from a fellow member. When I call the dealer for appointment to install he freaked on me. Told me that unless it was divorced properly from the original vehicle he wouldn't be able to unlock the unit. This makes sense to anyone?

Gave me the same story when I mentioned the backup cam from Boulder Accessories. Told me my computer couldn't handle it. Should I be concerned and find someone else to do install now?

Not true. He can blow out what is in there. I bought a TNR nav for my 03 Avalanche. There is no real way to divorce it. The idea is that only a dealer with a computer can make it work. Took the tech about 2 min and I was out the door. Gave him 20 bucks for doing it on the side and being a swell dude.

I've never heard of this 'divorce' thing...I'm pretty sure a tech2 and hook the nav right up.

Let me know if you need assistance from me...as the navs original owner.

How'd this work out for you?

If the dealer is still giving you a hard time you may want to track down a local audio installer in your area. The one down the street from me has a Tech2 (I don't know how he got it or if he's "supposed" to have it); maybe you can find someone other than the dealer to perform your annulment.
