    Hi! how much can you offer? From my understanding you also need the ribbon cable and a dock connector that connect to CN(18)

    Rt...er. Please confirmed If these are what you need. Unfortunately it has no plastic cover with a bit of bump out on the side for antena. You will supply your gps module, antena and the plastic piece. let me know. see attached photo.

    Unfortunately, im not sure on what all im needing but the parts you have will definitely give me a good start. Im very interested, throw me some numbers and lets make a deal. Thanks for you help Ohlip!!

    *Can you tell me what "bit of a bump out on the side for antenna" means and how it affect the operation or install of the sled.
    Also, will a plastic piece from a non-gps sled with no hardware attached work for this unit?

    Thanks again

    Ohlip,
    I apologize for asking so many questions but you seem to have a wealth of knowledge.
    Is this what the OEM gps unit from a CF-29 looks like?

    Yup! Thats it! you only need the ribbon cable that goes to the cn(18) with the docking connector and metal guide bar as seen on my attached picture and your set. Is that yours? Let me know so that I can send you the only hardware you need.

    The one with an "x" mark is not needed since you already have an sled with gps and an antena. Also a couple of screws but I can find you couple on my magic box

    see photo"

    Ohlip,
    Unfortunately, that's not mine. I wish!! I found that pic here in the forums. Im trying to get a better understanding of what all pieces i will need to complete this setup and install.
    I will need everything you have. But im still working on what else I will need along with your pieces to complete the sled. Pictures of the pieces to be specific. Im like a kid, pictures help me out alot!! :D :D

    *Are these the same pieces?

    Ok! I will give you a tip. The gps of the cf-18 and its antena(except the antena casing) is the same on cf-29. So, if you could find a gps set for cf-18 your set with my hardware except those plastic cover for the sled.
