Were 03's equiped for the factory Nav?

[cmd]

I would like to know if the truck was equiped in 03 for Nav and are the Nav systems equiped to run with the bose system, do you require an external cd player with the nav system if so would it be a better set up to go ipod ???

Too many questions,,,Help

No, the '03's never offered factory nav. They can be retrofitted. It?s my understanding that you need the nav disc to be running to operate the system, so you can't navigate AND listen to discs simultaneously without an add-on disc changer. Perhaps someone who has actually done this retrofit will reply. I have installed XM, which runs through the factory head unit quite nicely as an additional band and is supported by all of the factory controls/displays. I hope this helps. t~

The rain is getting to your head. I didn't ask the question about the radio. I asked about Tower's health.
