correct we are talking about the trunk mounted navi unit... that has to be mounted in a specific position.

There is already and antennae on the car, can I assume that was from the tele-aid and will work with the Navi?
-YES

Do I need a audio gateway even witht the harmon kardon system?
-NO, it is already there.

I do need the bracket and trunk liner I know that for sure.
-NOT NECESSARILY, I mounted mine under the parcel shelf. See pic.

Do I need to run a fiber cable to hook up to the MOST in the B
pillar?
-NO, it is already there, what you have to do is connect the cables in the right sequence. You will need access to the bottom of the B pillar and under the rear seat.

You also need to take a look at the posts to figure out if your car is prewired for navi, not all 2003 cars were.

Cheers.
