Its how you get a forum full of car guys to trip over each other trying to help.

In a AE86 FB group I'm in a simple post by a girl gets like 200 comments in under an hour. lol

The chip is a module. Along with a GPS Antenna and a few other nuts and bolts.

Welcome to the forums

Yes you need the upgrade kit which has expansion box, connectors, brackets, and GPS module

Your salesman is either a) a ****head or b) stupid. If it's a), probably have to take your father, boyfriend, or some male friend with you to get him to stop being an asshat. If it's b), I'd recommend speaking to a different rep.

But the advice people offered here is correct - you need the little nav unit that plugs into the back of the headunit.

Hi Katie Salesman they know noting about cars the only thing they know is to lie to the customers and sale you the car. That's the only thing they know best. and they are also expert at screwing people around. My brother is a salesman at a Nissan Dealer and he knows noting about cars lol Next time you buy a car you need to do a research before you buy. :-) Is nice to have you Aboard

Katie is attractive and likely has a sweet accent, that is all.

Ask for help from local FRS owners, chances are you will have 20 dudes at your place in an hour. Not only will you have working NAV, but flowers, chocolates, weight lifting competition and likely save the date cards printed.

Katie admits to being tactical. What if it's really Kyle?

Maybe I'll try this when it's time to install my camber plates. "Dumb girl needs help adjusting her strut."

You weren't mislead Katie, you were mis-informed. You don't have to change your head unit, you just didn't get the BeSpoke Audio upgrade, which includes the premium Nav. and a bunch of other goodies. It IS about 1200.00 installed at the dealership...its not a new unit, its just an additional unit that more or less bolts up with the stock unit. Its about the size of a clutch purse. It has to be installed, then a flash drive update on the software side usually needs done. It also requires a code for all updates...somewhere around 160.00, however, it being a new vehicle you shouldn't really require the updates if you're going to upgrade.

Honestly, you get yourself a nice dual-den head unti with nav. and a touch screen...like a Pioneer, Kenwood, etc. You're still going to be looking in the range of 1000.00, ALSO a lot more aggravation when you consider running the wires and mounting the GPS antenna.

I like the phone comment...I use mine for the GPS also.

I have the same head unit you do, and I work for Toyota as a tech for the last 10+ years. I'm not forking the money over for it either...not even with my employee discounts...
