The Navigator is finally going under the knife for some necessary infotainment upgrades next weekend.
Pioneer DMH-WT7600NEX head unit
Kicker Key 200.4 amp
Kicker 47KSS6804 6x8 Components in the front
Kicker 47KSC6804 6x8 coaxial for rear doors
Echomaster wired backup camera with dynamic guidelines and near 0 lux operation (same as I have in expedition)
When its done it will have wireless android auto and carplay, USB C connectivity, HDMI, Miracast, and the rest of your typical radio options. 9 inch HD display w a capacitive touch screen and the floating tablet look modern vehicles have. Mock up looked great despite the truck being an '03. The amp offers a really nice DSP with autotune, 40 band eq, time alignment, etc. This should greatly help the soundstage with minimal cosmetic modification, only the tweeters have to find a home.
The Kappa's we wanted were unavailable and I was going to miss a window to complete install until probably after the holidays so I went kicker, The component set is new for 2020 and I'm buying sight unseen/heard so fingers crossed.
Wireless charging in both 3rd row trays and a tbd location in the front seat area will be added. Possibly the console lid if I can get it to fit, need to find donor lid to experiment as this one is perfect and don't want to wreck it. If so I'll also add to 2nd row console along w a tablet charging station where the current DVD/headphone storage resides in the lower front of it.
The navigator has a nice looking and functional center stack but the dual cockpit design really kills the available space for things. The larger console and forward tray under the hvac controls in the expedition is much more handy imo.
I'll be sure to get some pics of everything.
