What 2014 GPS can replace Kenworth inDash GPS

i think lowrance is all that'll fit. and when i looked. it was $1400. don't remember if that included installation or not.

 

They are 5" units.

The Kenworth I-Way 500C and 600C are discontinued with no updates available. There are several on eBay for sale. My Peterbilt had the I-Way 650C and I loved it. But with it being manufacturer specific boils down to the connector plug ins that hook to the power and the stereo system.

Lowrance got out of the auto/truck GPS market that I know of. If they are still doing it then it's specifically with the truck manufacturers with another in-dash. They still sell marine navigation and handheld.

I doubt you can find another specific replacement for that hole other than a used or refurbished I-way. The new thing is a GPS/stereo/satellite/phone/back up camera all in one unit replacement for the stereo unit.

Did you load yours down with mp3 or pictures? Perhaps that's why it's dragging.

 

I forgot one option is to remove that unit and mount any GPS over the hole and use an external GPS antenna. In my pickup I have my GPS velcroed to the dash and it works fine.

 

LOL, screwed up the post, see below.

 

I have the the lowrance in my Pete and do like it, but I have thought about what if it goes down or some must have GPS comes out? Not sure about the KW, but in the Pete the screen is on the small switch panel side of the dash, should be easy to retrofit something else in there.

With that said I DO like the GPS in the dash, I really don't see how some of you guys can possibly drive with all of the crap on the dash and things pasted to or dangling off the windshield. Took a drivers truck out for a short run a couple of weeks back and it took me a hour to get dash/windshield cleaned off!

Actually, you could probably just suction cup a GPS OVER your existing screen, some of those mounts are pretty sturdy.

 

You don't think you could suction cup mount a 7" right on that screen? I would think it would stick just like it does to a windshield?

 

I am sure you could replace it with a current model, but you would have to replace both the display and the radio / head unit. I am guessing it wouldn't be cheap.
