Adding Navigation to a Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD?

[Funkster]

I've been doing dome searching and haven't managed to find what I need. I was wondering what I needed to buy to upgrade this Pioneer AVH-P6800DVD to navigation. The book talks about navigation, but it doesn't say what I need to buy. Any help would be great!

That link is for an AVIC which are naviagtion head units. The OP's unit is an AVH I dont think you can add GPS Navigation to those.

They do have Nav Traffic available for them, but that is an XM or Sirius option. Totally different than GPS.

Actually the AVIC-88 in that link is NOT a Head Unit.

The AVIC-88 is a stand alone nav unit which just requires a monitor.

The OP has a AVH which is not a nav unit and wasn't meant to be. He should have bought a AVIC unit it he wanted nav.

The AVIC-88 can work with the AVH, BUT the touch screen function is not compatible with the AVH-6800 if I remember correctly, so it will be display only, and you have to use the stand alone remote.

I also think the AVIC-88 has been discontinued, and I am not sure if they have a replacement.

what you need to buy is one of this item, AVIC-N1, AVIC-88DVD, AVIC-80DVD, AVIC-90DVD and AVIC-9DVD, plus the maps on cd's CNDV-50MTP all of them are discontinued, their 4 or 5 years old so the only way is get it used, .... if you have AVG-DVP1 installed already you i'll have to take out because there's space for only one item ... i hope it help you !!!!!!!
