Seems impossible to find the OEM navigation unit for a 2012 Mustang. What other options are out there and which is the best?

This part?

If that's what you're looking for, I'd suggest getting in touch with Steve and see if he can find a part at a dealer somewhere.

Yes that's it. I've heard the only way to get one is to find a junker.

crutchfield would be a great source for an aftermarket indash. They have a website and a sales support staff that specializes in the different departments you can speak to directly via phone.

I use a Garmin portable (when I had cars without NAV) and it has served me very well over 12+ years.

This is what I have from AM but I just looked and they don't carry it any more. It works great.

Are you talking about the Raxiom?

I'm doing the senior think, forgetting to post a pic of what this is all about. And yes the Raxiom one.

I don't know why AM stopped carrying it.

You need more than just the display. You'd also need the GPS antenna, cabling, Map SD card, HVAC parts (if you want dual zone), and a reflash of the BCM by a dealer to make it all work.

Sounds like an impossible feat

It's why most people either went with the Raxiom (which is now inexplicably discontinued) or an aftermarket Android unit.

I put in a Kenwood unit that has apple carplay...so the maps on my phone come on the screen just like a nav unit. Works really good. Even installed XM radio, which wasn't available on an 06. Bought everything from crutchfield.

The only thing I don't like is when its really sunny the sun can create a lot of glare on the screen.

It was a lot easier to stick a double-DIN unit in the '05-09s.

The '10-14s use CANBUS for everything, so you need a $350 install kit from Metra in order to put an aftermarket radio in (includes a touch screen for HVAC controls, SYNC interface, etc.). It's a pretty sweet setup, though, and I'm really thinking about getting back into car audio myself next winter.

I recently had audio installed and my guy did a fantastic job.....I never met someone so passionate about audio. Anyway, I sent him this link https://themustangsource.com/forums/f803/adding-oem-nav-516988/ .

I'm hoping he can understand it and maybe put something together for me.

BTW anyone in the South Jersey area looking to get audio work done....check out AudioSonic. I cannot say enough good things about Mike.

FYI - I didn't see an in cabin temp sensor module in his list on this thread. You will need one for the climate control. A friend called me recently with a climate control issue on his F250. After he described the symptom I told him to check the in cabin temp sensor. His Ford tech buddy kept telling him it was a blend door motor. Thankfully with me on the phone he checked the sensor and found it wide open. He ordered one which was way less expensive than a blend door motor even at a junk yard. I had him check resistance before installing and as I recall it read somewhere around 5K ohm. Installing it he had full climate control back and the unit has functioned properly all winter since. The point is expressing the importance of this small device when you do this. Best of luck if you choose to go this way.

The sun load sensor will be required as well as it assists in helping maintain cabin temp setpoint when you have direct sunlight radiating through the glass, which as we all know generates a lot of heat.

Personally I think an aftermarket setup would be less costly and from personal experience cheaper on updates as Ford and other OEM nav systems wish to gouge for map updates where as many aftermarket systems provide free updates or at least reasonable cost on updates.

I'm all for aftermarket options however I want to maintain an OEM look to it. A lot of the aftermarket setups Ive seen (on the internet) don't look factory. I think the closest one I've seen was the Raxion but that has been discontinued.

Raxiom's unit are made by Rosen, maybe you can look up Rosen HU's.

Looks like they only make Chrysler and GM ones now:

I guess that would explain why American Muscle doesn't have the Raxiom one anymore.

Yeah, Rosen used to sell them cheaper than AM and twice the warranty. They discontinued selling them years ago. The unit does look and work well though. Maybe the OP can find one for sale. Maybe someone about to trade in will sell it.

eBay/Facebook is your best bet I guess
