Changing Alpine Low-Line in High-Line SATNAV

Hello everyone,

I'm new on this forum and I live in Holland. Excelent forum by the way! I'm driving a Rover 75 1.8 with a G3 LPG fuel installation in the space of the spare wheel. The car is from 2001.

Here's my problem (is there a new member who has none?):

I have an integrated Alpine Low-Line satellite navigation with radio/cassette. Some while ago, my GPS unit failed and the garage couldn't fix it. I recently bought a High-Line SATNAV from Alpine YIE000310PUY. I was very supprised when I discovered that the connectors behind from each model were not the same!

Does anybody knows then answers on the following:
- Are there existing adaptors for the connectors?
- If I want to buy another GPS, do I have to check wich type is right for the High-Line?
- Or do I have to change the whole wiring loom?
- I've read something about a silver box wich you need to let the High-Line work. Is this true?
- The existing CD changer came with the original Low-Line SATNAV. Does it still work on the High-Line?
- One of the options of a High Line SATNAV is receiving TV. I don't need that because in Holland there is no existing analoge signal anymore in the air. Everything is digital now.

......Where I'm afraid for, was it foolish to buy only the High-Line unit?

Hope to her from you soon.
