I am currently doing a nav retrofit and I have all the parts except for the nav screen. I bought one a few weeks ago but after I paid for it the guy never got back to me and I haven't heard from him since then. So I'm assuming I just lost my money ($400 CDN[:@]). I am now looking for another one and I have found one but it is from an X-type. It has all the same features like dual climate control, heated windscreen etc. and it is identical to the one I previously bought but never got. As far as I know they should work across all models as long as they have the same features/trim level. So, does anyone else know if this one will work in my S-type?

 

The screens are not the same. The X-Type screen is a trapezoid shape like the X-Type full size radio. The S-Type screen has rounded sides and actually has built in location mounts for the horseshoe shaped leather center stack surround as well as the occupant sensor hole at the top where you would mount your existing occupant sensor which an X-Type does not have.

 

Do some S type Rs not come with a heated front windscreen switch? I have it in my manual the button that would control it but my Nav screens ( mine was replaced under warranty when i first got the car ) units do/did not have the button on there...they just have front and rear defroster
