I will use my iphone connected to Avin for navigation system.

But I would like to know if wires are different from your guide

Thanks a lot
Awesome question and while the connection to the head unit might be a little different, I am guessing most will be the same. You also had to get a big long extension wire as well I bet? Most of the factory NAV systems required a big long wiring harness run I think back to a unit in the trunk?
