Anyone ever add factory nav to an 04 lariat?
I have a 2004 lariat crew cab with the 6 disc cd and audiophile subwoofer. I love this sound system!! However I want to add factory navigation to it. I looked up nav radios on eBay and I can't find any that are already pre programmed or come with programming. I don't want to send it somewhere to have it programmed. But I did read how some people have had success by pulling out a navigation system from a certain car and having their steering wheel radio controls and subwoofer still work. So my question is, is there any specific ford/lincoln/mercury vehicle navigation systems out there that will work perfectly with my truck? Also I found one online that is pulled out of a mark lt. I'm assuming that would have the same sound system as my truck so should I order it and just hook it up and hope for the best?

You can get any of the 04-10 Ford factory navs reprogrammed for your vehicle thru two different companies. I forget their name names but one is in Chicago and the other was in New Jersey. About $150 shipping included. The dealer can not re-program these. If You buy one from a Mark LT it will have a silver background and a Mercury logo but will work.
The simple answer for you is buy one from a F150,250,350 or 450. You will have to buy a GPS antenna that sits under the dash and depending on the radio antenna you may need to buy a Chrysler antenna adapter.
There are multiple units on Ebay. Make sure you Google the part number to verify it came from a F series. Sellers advertise that the radio is for a F150 when in fact it is not.
There are many threads on this site about installation.
Hope this helps, George
