You can add it with Forescan. Not sure if you need any hardware or not. I use my Android for navigation. It's better, and you can actually watch it on your truck display if you want (I use a windshield mount).
I was a bit worried that my former rental didn't come with navigation. Completely unnecessary for me so I have never even tried to enable it.

So if the truck doesn't have Nav, do our trucks with Nav have a DVD/hard drive somewhere like many other cars. Plus the GPS antenna? But I have used Android Auto to put the Waze map up on the screen. I don't use AA much as it takes over my phone while in use.

From what I found the nav and maps are loaded onto the sync module that is mounted to the back of the screen. I watched a video of a guy who sells the modules and he said you didn't need to add a GPS antenna. All he did was change out the module. But if you can use Forscan to enable nav then you can do it for the cost of a bluetooth obdII adapter which is about $80. The cost of a new sync module from what I found is roughly $1,300.

I don't like or use the nav in my 15 expy plat. It is a pain to enter and address and there has been a few times that it was completely incorrect.
I can tell my phone, "ok google navigate to 123 main street, anytown" and navigation has started.
To do the above with sync nav, you have to say so many things over and over and over....
I do use the nav for simple map functionality like if i need to see what street I am coming up on but that is about it.

i push the button on the steering wheel and say "destination", then respond "street address", then speak the address, then answer "set as destination".
