When I bought my Ascent I did not want a sunroof. I couldn't get navigation without getting the tech package that included the sunroof. I had the navigation in my Outback and also have it in the Forester. I figured using Android Auto would be fine, which it is for the most part. Most times I know where I am going and I do not connect my phone.
But every once in a while there is a road closure, accident or heavy traffic and I look at the head unit and all I see is what is playing on the radio. It takes too long to get my phone out, connect it and wait for AA to come up.
Is it possible to swap out the head unit with one that has navigation? Is there a GPS antenna involved that I would also be missing? If the price was reasonable I would consider it if it is available. Or I could just get in the habit of plugging my phone in right away, or buying a stand alone GPS.
Just thinking about it.
