In order to get these features I would have had to purchase the platinum which had 20" wheels, sunroof, and much higher price tag (all items I did not want). I don't know where the module is or if other items can be added or flashed.
It seems like manufacturers are trying to make it harder to just "drop" in upgrades.
I also wanted the Navigation for the A2DP bluethooth audio, but my wife and I had to have sunroof, so we had to compromise on features.
As for the navigation, I don't think this will be a cheap task.
The navigation system uses an 8" touchscreen. I believe the SL comes with a 7" non-touch LCD. Even my SL with premium, the "upgraded" 8" LCD is non-touch, which I would assume would cause errors if you just replaced the headunit.
As for the bluetooth audio, I am guessing that it is part of the headunit, and I am highly doubting that Nissan left the microphone for the bluetooth in (albeit if anything, Nissan is actually pretty good about leaving wiring in for options that were not included).
I think at minimum for myself to get Nav+A2DP bluetooth, I'd probably have to replace:
1. The 8" screen to the 8" touch-screen
2. replace the headunit (hoping the harddrive is part of it).
For a non "premium" SL, I think you'd have to:
1. Replace the 7" screen with the 8" touch-screen
2. replace the headunit
3. maybe install the microphone and wiring (I think most go in the headliner).
In the end, it's probably not going to be cost-effective.
I actually thought A2DP was included as part of premium package. I was pretty bummed out when I picked up and foundout it didn't have it.
