You don't really want nav that's that old anyway. Don't pay for that poo poo.

Ya the company that does the updates is like a year behind so when they say 2016 nav disc! its really a 2015 and already out of date.

With my CTS the only way to update it is to get a disc from the supplier and give them the vin to get a unlock code. Although the nav in the CTS isn't to bad its not as good as any half decent phone map app.

I might have a nav disc from one of my DTS's you could have but I don't know if the GMT800 trucks used the same nav system.


Its funny how around the mid 2000s Cadillac had like 3 different nav os's the 05+ STS used a really old system. The 2006+ DTS used one that is similar to the GMT900 and the 07-09 SRX and some Buicks. The -05 CTS used a really old os that I don't think was used in anything else.

I bet it's the same if you find one... ironically, the disc I'm looking for is the same one I had for the '05 STS that I had for a month or so last year. I just cannot find the damned thing anywhere and I may have thrown it away, thinking I'd never use it again. :smith:

I looked all over for it and I think I left it in the car along with the updated one I bought as well when I traded the car 2 years ago. And I think I left some CDs in the changer too. Oh well still have the wood steering wheel though that I swapped out.

From what I could see I think the GMT800 Nav isn't the same as the 06+ DTS or 07+ GMT900.


This is what the nav I had looks like.

Avalon is plugging right along. I over filled the AC a bit, but once I got that sorted, every single thing on the car works like it should... but I found out about 2008-2009 Buick Lacrosse Supers and I may be looking at replacing it. :ohdear:

The LS4 is awesome. The 4T65E-HD its attached to is not. That transmission had trouble with the supercharged 3800 let alone a 323 ft lb V8. I drove a GP GXP and that was a sweet car. Torque steered like a mofo but man it was fun.

If you do get one look into Triple Edge Performance to do a rebuild on the internals that will hold up better then a stock 4T65E-HD. My N* with the 4T80E never skipped a beat, to bad that it is so big and wouldn't fit in a W-Body.
