My first Ram Crew Cab Bighorn Hemi 5.7. It came NAV READY with the 8.4 inch touch screen. It does not have a NAV icon on lower display line. When I pay for nav. activation, will the display then have the NAV icon on lower line?

Thank you

Yep!

I'd recommend you forgo getting it though unless your heart is set on it. It seems like everyone with NAV has major issues with their 8.4A(N). My wife and I drove up to St, Charles IL yesterday (suburb of Chicago) using iMaps on her iPhone bluetoothed while streaming music and it worked flawlessly. Music would mute when iMaps would direct us to turn.

500 bucks is a TON to pay for NAV in my opinion. Even a portable GPS is easily half that and will give you more options.

It CAN have the Nav added to it in a mater of a few minuted at the stealership, HOWEVER, like Chewy said, its $500! And you wouldnt have the 3D Maps that the actual 8.4AN has. Portable is the way to go if you have to have GPS.

Thanks Chewy and NavyGuy,

Will have to give it more though before I make a decision.

I have Nav but I use the $60 Garmin North America app on my phone more than anything else. It's cheap and it works.

NavyGuy, Apparently my 8.4 A doesn't have any 3D maps..at least I haven't found them.
