nEWNew NV1500 Owner

Hi all,

Just purchased a used NV1500 Van. I don.\'t have NAV and Bluetooth phone or backup camera. This is my business van, and thest things are important to me. I didn't know that they came with these options. Guess I didn't do my homework :-).

There is a parts yard near me with a NV3500 in it wrecked in  front. It seems to have all these options. I cannot find a description on removal of the radio anywhere else.

I thought I saw one here, it was without pictures.

Can someone chime in with a link to topics that could help w/Bluetooth, radio and backup camera removal & installation?

I'll have to figure out how to search the archives of this forum. Next step I guess.

Thanks

Bill

Back, just some context, my NV1500 Van has single CD player, no hands free phone buttons on steering wheel. From what I see, the NAV unit stands alone, and backup camera shows up on same screen. Bluetooth jphone seems to be inside the same unit. So my questions:

- How to open up dash to remove CD radio to replace w/NAV/Bluetooth Phone/Backup camera stock unit. ( have tried to pry panel off around CD player with little success.

- Do these vans come pre-wired for Bluetooth phone connections under my flat plastic plate on steering wheel? IF so I can just buy panel with phone controls from junkyard and plug in.

- Is Backup camera pre-wired into van so I can hook up to NAV/CD/Backup camera unit that I want to put into dash?

 

NOTE, I have read posts here that people have removed Stock NAV/ Radio unit. Is there something wrong with that unit? Or are they just wanting more flexibility with Audio Inputs?

 

NOTE2: I am not that much interested in Audio, I don't want to be fiddling with phone and NAV while I am driving. I use NAV on Google Maps to get places and in-dash seems much more practical. Same with Bluetooth phone, enabling hands free phone usage.

There's my write up. Takes an hour if you take your time and are careful. The dash removal tools make life easier but aren't necessary, you can use a butter knife as a pry tool! Just be careful.

 

Sorry, I don't know what all is prewired with the 1500. Hopefully one of our techs or dealers chimes in or another 1500 owner.
