My overhead console has empty GPS slot. I would like to upgrade my overhead console with one with a GPS indicator is it compatible to later year models like 1998 to 2000.

Hello,

That is possible if you get the wiring harnesses and controllers to do so.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested.

Cheers, Ken
