can you tell what the difference is from the 2008-2010 harness to the 2011 up harness?

 

The new harness has two less plugs to the back of navigation unit than the old harness, otherwise, it looks the same.

 

dealer always scam people

 

Sorry, so just to clarify...a new harness for 2011+ model years will make a navigation unit for 2008-2010 work w/ bluetooth, USB, FUSE, etc? Also, I might have missed it while reading through the posts , but can you list the part number of the harness required?

 

 

I don't think a 2008-10 navi will work with FUSE even with the 2011+ harness. My situation is that I brought the 2011 navi but 08-10 install kit which comes with the older harness. I already have FUSE in my GSR cuz they are standard now. So with the correct harness, my FUSE USB and Bluetooth works instantly, and I had the dealer to activate the CAN box prior, so all the MPG, temp gauge, and speed recording functions all work now.

FUSE is not available on 08-10 Evo; they have bluetooth and USB but I think it is a different unit, not FUSE. If you have 2011+ Evo, I would urge you to get the 2011+ navi cuz it has free live traffic now, which is quite accurate. Just make sure you have the correct install kit.

I concluded that only thing that is different between 08-10 & 11+, in the install kit is the harness. Since I had the dealer to activate my ECU to communicate with the navi using the older install kit, and everything works now. (BTW, dealer didn't charge me the $80 activation fee cuz they feel that it didn't activate the navi)

 

I see now. Thanks for the clarification...that makes sense.

 

Sorry to bump such an old thread.... but with the new harness for a older navi (N-03) will FUSE work for my 2011 GSR?

 

Just to give information, I got an N-05 and installed it and everything worked especially FUSE.
