Not 100% sure but I know on the monochromatic units there is only a black plug. I could be wrong..
anyone can tell me? about oem touchscreen back panel?
im planning to replace my oem audio to oem navigation system.
but there is question..
this picture is back side of oem navigation touch screen.
as you can see there is a 2 connecter which is black and the blue one.
i know the black one is main connecter
but i have no idea with the blue one..
can anybody tell me about the blue connecter?
thank you

From what I can tell from the next to worthless Cruze shop manual, the displays are definitely different between navigation and the non-navigational displays. BUT THE RADIOS ARE ALSO DIFFERENT WITH DIFFERENT WIRING CONFIGURATIONS!
Are you thinking you can get by with just changing the display panel? Sure doesn't look this way. Looks like you will need the whole ball of wax plus the extra wiring harnesses. They are also showing different circuit schematic for the vehicle's audio system between the two different radios. This would take some time to trace this out, but why are they showing two?

Are you sure the two different radios aren't the Standard and Pioneer upgrade? I know I've seen two radio diagrams based on that.
I'm wondering if navigation always came with the Pioneer upgrade. (Meaning all navs had Pioneer, but not all Pioneer had nav.) Gotta go back to the RPO codes referenced in the schematic.

Still can read, "With Navigation" then the following circuit without it.
Ha, will leave decipering those codes to Alan Turing, he was my hero for developing the modern computer, but most famous for breaking the enigma German code. Not sure if he could break GM codes.

Yeah I have the books too and there is different pinouts on the different radios, they only put the needed wires for each flavor radio so swapping looks like it would be out for sure, the wiring harness is different on all the wiring IP body etc. and also I think the firmware is different meaning even if all the wires are there and going the right places swapping anything still won't work, these cars have extensive use of the high and low speed busses and there is also a lin buss, virtually every feature talks across those busses and if the right firmware is not there--there ain't nothing to talk about !!
Quite possible. Although a trip to a dealer should be able to fix that - as long as you have a feature combination that could have come from the factory.and also I think the firmware is different meaning even if all the wires are there and going the right places swapping anything still won't work,
As ken has so eloquently outlined in detail . you are waisting your time to think you can swap out Head Units and expect them to be compatable .
First the wiring harness has to be correct and yes there is a difference in the firmware ..
These systems are not designed to be interchangeable ..
That is why there are different option packages for the factory to install during the build processes of any particular car ..

i asked to gm korea parts dealer shop.
he says that i have to change the audio silverbox which is navigation software installed.and that silverbox price is $2000:signs053:
and the blue connecter must be main screen connecter like computer moniter connecter...
im pretty shocked with the price OMG.

I'm curious about what the extra connector is for - unless the nav is really in the screen and the connector is to forward the GPS data. It's going to be several hours before I can check my manual.
I'm pretty sure you can get a used nav radio on eBay for a lot less than that.

$2000.00 plus another 110 buck for sales tax is exactly what my dealer wanted in 2012 for navigation. Then map updates were something like 200 bucks that came on a 2Gb SD chip that also required a socket inside the console box.
So I said, no thank you.
Got a Garmin instead, talk about luck, my Target store was giving 50% off for just four hours when I walked in. Had both GPs and traffic, 5" screen, and lifetime free maps. Just updated the maps a couple of days ago.

Since those suction cups only hold for two seconds, had a piece of 20 mil brass, could call this 0.5 mm, removed that cup, traced the base, left a long tab on the back, secured this to the bottom of the base with a flat head screw and covered it with felt. That AC outlet unsnaps, twisted the tab around it and snap the outlet back in, firm, doesn't rattle, and no mods to the car.
Removed the guts from the cigar plug, wrapped that in foam and hard wired it to the onstar fuse in the panel behind the fuse door. No cords dangling all over the place.
Also has a micro SD slot, got an Italy chip for 25 bucks, plugged that in, and worked perfectly in Italy. Try this with an OE navigational receive.
Wife wasn't very pleased at first they way I mounted it because she couldn't see. Ha, just replied, if you want to know if we are there yet, we still have 63 miles to go. But when she got behind the wheel, said I couldn't have picked a better spot.
We also have a couple extra thousand bucks in the bank.

thank you for your reply .
first yes i could get a used radios with navigation installed on ebay .
but there is problem with it. i live in korea so i have to get a used radio for korea version.. because the all software is different with the oversea version.
if does the blue connecter is for moniter signal...
the all system is like computer.. audio silver box is computer body... LCD screen is just a monitor!
if im i right... it happens nothing...
that means i have to get a new audio silverbox with navigation software installed... haha but its $2000 in here the new one..
its really hard to get a used one.. its pretty rare the factory navigation system included cruze.. koreans doent like the factory navi.. instead they prefer the aftermarket navi
i just want to find out what happens when i put that screen with out changing my audio silverbox
and im gonne try it tomorrow at the weekend
i will post it when its donethats funny

yes your 1000% right, in the monochromatic units has only black plug on it
i found out there's a 2 different types with oem LCD version which are navi version and non navi version.
hm... the blue connecter is mystery
Could fry it if you tried this, been in electronics a long time, touch the wrong wire back then, it will kill you, do this today, and you will kill the electronics.
I know with some of these preprogrammed map chips, the instant you load it, it erases whats on the chip. Do this so you can't share the map with a friend, and split the price, not sure what the Cruze is doing. With this Garmin, can back everything up on my computer, even found a second one on half price to take to Italy with me, just in case. Crazy place, half you zig-zag all over a town with 2 feet wide roads and don't even show you the route for the highway you are on. Was able to download all of my favorites to it so I didn't have to spend hours keying them in.
Google maps don't work on my cell phone unless I am within cell range, doesn't brother the Garmin in the least. Talk about a confusing maze in Venice, all walking, could slip the Garmin in my pocket to find our way back, also works in the woods.
If you do find a good deal on a used one, still have to see your dealer to match the ID codes to your radio, or you won't be able to turn it on.
Was riding with my son with my three grandkids in the back seat with OE navigation, they started crying because they wanted something to eat, son asked me to find points of interest. It would not even let me do this, he had to pull over to the side of the road and put it in park before it would let me do this. Was on a busy interstate and had a heck of a time trying to get back on. He purchased another new vehicle since then, and said hail no to OE GPS, he also didn't know he had to pay 200 bucks for a map update. Those points of interest are changing all the time.
He also learned the maps he was getting for 200 bucks were a year out of date. So much for factory GPS.

Thought you were in another country--checked the manual and the us or Canada cruzes do not have that connector, probably does relate to the nav or non nav radios, also what Nick points out is true, the GM maps will go out of date and updating will cost you at the dealer big time, like I was trying to point out NONE of the radios or displays were ever made to interchange so the only way to upgrade is to change all the pieces and wiring harnesses, pulling the instrument panel to change just that harness would be a HUGE effort and probably would need the front body harness changed also-not fun either, it just is not like the old days where you could just add a double din unit and all is well, although there are some aftermarket units that do come close to a good OEM fitment--for a BIG price, there just is no fighting it--unless the car was built with the option your SOL
See my 2012 2LT would be worth 90 bucks more on trade-in value if I had factory GPS. Would this be a good return on my investment?
The manual called it "twinax" - a twin-lead coax. The icon suggests it's a display signal. It's unclear what's going on. But as I said (in another thread), the signals and their pin-outs are different between the two types. Apparently they are completely different systems - different designs - possibly even from different manufacturers - they just look the same from the outside. Even if the connectors fit, I wouldn't try it.hm... the blue connecter is mystery
Sorry, I posted my answer last night into a different thread here
Wonder if you still can purchase a Sams Photofact for this radio, see they are still in business.

But have to know the chassis number and the manufacture of the radio if you can even find this. Last digital car radio I had apart by guess work could trace the problem to a particular IC, but instead of using the generic stock number, used the car manufacturers in house stock number. No such parts available. I know they don't make this parts, tried to isolate it by the case style, but over a 100,000 chips of this configuration.
So in the trashcan in went.
Stilled teed off at LG with that two year old plasma TV, no darn well its firmware problem, emailed then called them, does have a USB port for refresh the flashram, but they no longer support it. Still laying on my bench, should pitch it,whenever I look at it, get teed off again. This is the route electronics has taken.
GPS chips are made by the millions, only two of them, this and a very cheap to manufacturer smudge screen. Don't even need a case or a power supply, for only $2,000.00 extra? You have got to be kidding. Most of the expense is in the firmware, even when you buy a new one.
