Hello all,
First post in the forum here. I am thinking about buying a 2010 LE. The dealer does not advertise NAV as a feature, so was NAV an option on the LEs? I know the Bose system comes standard.
Secondly, if NAV is not standard, I noticed that part of the A/C controls are integrated into the display of the Bose system. Is it possible to replace the Bose system with an aftermarket NAV system without compromising the A?C unit function?

NAV is option on all V6 LE models. For 2008, 2009, and 2012 it's also optional on the V8 LE. For 2010-2011 it's included with the V8 LE.
The HVAC controls are all hard buttons down below, but the display will show you the settings. So if you put in an aftermarket display you might lose the ability to know where the air flow is directed and what temp is set. I've only seen a couple people swap out for aftermarket and I don't believe they could see those settings.
If you want a built-in NAV I think it would make sense to just find one with the OEM system. It shouldn't add much to the cost on a used model and will be far better given the way the BOSE/display is integrated. Or just stick to your phone. I have NAV in all my other vehicles and 90% of the time I use Google maps anyway.
