Smile Adding OEM touch screen to Non-nav G37 '08

I want to replace my current display and add a OEM touch screen display. Will it work with the current head unit or Do I have to get a nav unit as well?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

A little quick search and I found...

That about right?

or if your doing to do it the way i did
old radio for connectors
wire
butt connectors
shrink wrap
soldering iron
Nav head unit
Nav faceplate
Nav control panel
Nav screen
Nav wiring harness
you'll also need GPS antenna for Nav to work

If you want to do 2010+ navi swap which includes a higher resolution hd screen you'll need the new harness that includes the new display connector.

Why would you need the touch screen if you aren't going to do the navi swap?

I also want to replace it, a main reason not a navigation, just to mirror my android device with Kivic One connector.

In terms of the wiring harness and going from a non-nav head unit to a nav head unit, what all needs to be purchased? ('08 G37S w/o nav).

I’m wondering the same thing. Can I install OEM Nav Screen to replace non Nav and have a touch screen for a carplay module like VLines?

No. The OEM NAV screen will not work in non-NAV cars. The systems can not be "mixed-and-matched,"
