How to use non-subaru maps on your OEM subaru Nav Hi Everyone, I'm kinda new here and lurk often but rarely have anything good to offer so I don't post. That said, I have done a lot of research on our OEM subaru navigation units and wanted to consolidate the info here so that you can learn a bit on ways to update your maps without having to purchase the OEM ones from Subaru. So, firstly the subaru OEM navigation systems in 2007 + Subarus are ALL Kenwood DV3200 based systems.
