Can you elaborate on the work involved and part numbers please?
I am currently trying to update my firmware from the NTG4.5 gen1 to Gen 2 (black silver) but if I could upgrade the whole system that would be awesome!

Well first off if your even can find a used 5.1 first..Then we can talk the rest.

They are of course SUPER rare. The navi prepared 5.1 Audio 20 I have leftovers of so depends on what you need out of it.

I found one, but am unsure what else is required before I attempt to try this mod/upgrade.

Can you please share with me/us what is required?
