Is it beneficial to find a HU that had nav working, or will a nav FSC be required anyway?
The Head Unit age requirement is so you can reuse your existing OEM VIN Matching FSC Codes in the Donor Head Unit. It applies only if replacing existing Head Unit with same type Head Unit (e.g. ENTRYNAV2 without WLAN with ENTRYNAV2 with WLAN). It is irrelevant when replacing existing Head Unit with a different type Head Unit (e.g. ENTRYNAV with ENTRYNAV2), as the original FSC Codes cannot be reused on Donor Head Unit. In this case, you would use the Donor FSC Codes along with an Activation Module. If you want NAV, then you need Donor Head Unit with GPS hardware and set of FSC Codes from any Donor VIN with same Head Unit that has factory Navigation.
