Using Nav on a 03 Expedition
Hi Just brought an 03 Expedition EB with NAV. I live in NJ and when I attempt to put in an address in NJ, the NAV finds the address with NP. However, the other day I went to put in an address in NY, and found out that you can't select or change the State. I then thought that by inputing the town/city and street name, it would give me a list of towns in different states, but it did not. I could not put in an address in NY.
Also I found that it did not pick up certain street names when trying to program an address, even though the map shows the street names while in the particular area. I figured if it's on the map, it should be searchable from the menu.
Am I doing something wrong? My wife's chrysler 300 NAV and my portable Mio GPS unit allows you to change states in the menu.

Thought about that but decided to sit and play with the thing for a while. Figured out that when you input the city name, it give you a list of ALL the cities with that name or similar throught the country. When you highlight one of them, the name of the state which that city is in shows up at the top of the screen (not necessarily where your looking to get info) so you have to scroll through the list of cities until you get to the one in your state (kinda lame).
Anyway, I've been reading posts on changing out the head unit for an OEM, which would be nice to have features such as Bluetooth, and maybe backup camera, while retaining controls over the rear DVD player and the wireless headphones, however I've been seeing the nightmare stories form people who have attempted to have their head unit replaced or replace it them selves and not having any audio or losing controls that are on the original head unit. Saw something about a harness/connector that is needed to make an OEM head unit function correctly. Is it worth it? I'm a do-it-yourselfer and would probably attempt this myself.
