I don't have that. Might have only gone to Europe in 2002. I don't know
if I can upgrade to it, either, as my 6 CD stacker is in the location your
NavPlus is. Either way, I'll manage just fine. Great car!.

I don't think Nav+ has ever been offered in the USA.

Really? The CD stacker is mounted in your centre console? That must be
one of the double-height systems - Symphony2?
There is quite a community of people who have retrofitted Nav+ units.
This is particularly straightforward if you start off with the
double-height HU.
Have a look here: http://www.nav-plus.com/instructions/
However, if you want to keep the CD changer facility, you'd need to
install a trunk-mounted unit.
