Hybrid Display

In the Gen 2 I own several of .you will need the GPS antenna etc . I'm kinda doubting. You have all that in that car 8 could be wrong

 

I'm not sure you'd need to look at the display You may be able to run the display without the GPS working at all except there'll be a button there for GPS that will confuse people that don't normally drive the car I think in a generation 2 you can even do this without the antenna plugged in which I think is a blue plug and plug in the MSD with the basic power plug the two plugs that are in every car that accepts the MFD doesn't matter if it has GPS or not I've played with this a few times but not in a generation one Mr Lewis here I think Ron Lewis is his name should have an idea about this It would seem to me I would just try to take one and plug it up with all the plugs that fit and the two that are left without something in them will be the antenna and something else but the thing should power up I believe but I'm not sure. And then you have to be extremely careful taking the plastic trim off because if it breaks you're done almost impossible to find

 

Not sure what you mean by GPS - are you talking about the NAV system? If so, you'd need the ecu that mounts under the passenger seat. But why? the maps are all out of date.

I can't think how the screen makes a difference - I doubt it has any intelligence - just a dumb screen. All the cars have the dash buttons, but without the ECU, you'll get an error message when you push it.

Did the guy in your vid do anything different to get the plastic off without breaking?

 

The display may work. GPS will not work.
GPS requires an antenna, a control unit, and maps sewn into the unit for processing by the program.
