Thinking about upgrading your car’s dashboard but don’t want to spend $100–300 on professional installation? The good news is—you can install your Navitech Android head unit yourself. This guide walks you through every step, even if you’ve never removed a car stereo before.
🔧 What You'll Need
- Plastic panel removal tools
- 10mm socket wrench (for factory screen removal)
- Wire connectors or plug-and-play harness (usually included)
- Electrical tape
- Patience 😊
📦 Step-by-Step Installation
1. Disconnect Your Battery
Always start by disconnecting the negative terminal to avoid shorts or errors in the system.
2. Remove the Factory Unit
Use plastic trim tools to gently pry off the dashboard frame. Unscrew the old head unit and carefully unplug its wiring harnesses.
3. Connect Navitech Wiring Harness
Navitech systems are designed to be plug-and-play for most supported vehicles. Match the labeled connectors, or use crimp/solder if needed.
4. Mount the New Screen
Slide the Navitech unit into the original bracket or use the custom mounting kit provided. Ensure all clips are flush and secure.
5. Reconnect the Battery & Test
Start your car and test the new screen—check touchscreen, CarPlay/Android Auto, sound, Bluetooth, reverse camera, and steering wheel buttons.
