Looking to Buy an OEM nav head unit

for a 2008 f150. anyone have one for sale at a reasonable price with the chrome trim on the *****? did the nav units on the 2008 even come with chrome around the *****? i know the regular 6 disk cd changer that comes with the audiophile did....not sure about the nav unit though?

I purchased this unit, the ford logo comes on when I start the truck- looks very factory and has the chrome trim *****. Great seller too.

How was the install? Plug and play? From looking at the pictures it does not look like the screw holes from the harness would match up? How does it secure itself?

do you have pics of your final install? i would like to see it. so you're saying for 39 dollars you can have the backup camera harness for the install too? it looks really good on the ebay site with a ton of options....is it compatible with the OEM sub and with the built in navigation, is it good and what happens if it goes outdated? since you have only posted a couple times and both on the same subject....i'm a little skeptical that you may be someone just trying to plug a product.

i have a bid in for one right now at $680. I might possibly be interested if this falls through but the dang auction doesn't end until the 4th of Feb. That unit does have the chrome *****...however, after looking at the unit linked in this thread...i'm seriously looking at that one too haha. almost seems to good to be true. if all the stock stuff works(steering control, ipod, backup camera) and it comes with all the attachments and everything that seems like a good buy at 599. I would still strongly consider the factory pioneer one you have as long as it has the chrome ***** though.

haha i know I am in the same boat as you are in. I wanted factory but the one in the link($599) looks like it could be a factory unit and it has more features than the factory nav units. I checked the seller on ebay "trustigo" and he seems to have sold a lot of them thus far. I don't know what to do.

The ones in the link from ebay I believe are made in China, quality issue there maybe.

The seller got back to me about the tv option, $129 for the tv receiver so you can watch tv in your truck.
