NavTool PSA Warning [Please Read]

Unethical business practices. Arrogant and rude company that treats the consumers like they're ignorant and can't follow simple instructions. This isn't just a personal opinion, it's a proven track record this company has established and is consistent with every complaint you'll ever find anywhere online.

The only customers who'd might rate them more than 1 or 2 stars likely never required much assistance or support from them (of whom I once was). OR they're seeded and deliberately planted reviews by this company in effort to counter the countless negative experiences many have already reported.

I'd strongly advise to READ THE BBB REVIEWS very carefully. If you do and are clever enough, you'll see that some of the potential good reviews are clearly non-authentic.

Such as those for example; raving of what a stellar company NavTool is & if you need support to contact the poster of the review for assistance.

Simply ask yourself, who really does that? Post a positive review and then extend their personal time & support to get a product that they didn't sell working for someone else who posted a negative review??? I think not.

Only someone acting on behalf of the company would likely do that. Just be extremely cautious b/c these guys are good at what they do when it comes to dishonesty & I've seen it first hand. They're extremely crafty at manipulating the narrative.

Absolute crooks with no moral sense of integrity or respect for their customers. Took my money, treated me as if I was the problem when I reported issues or looking for assistance, after following THEIR instructions. Implying I was lying when I told them my Dealership service department performed "paid" diagnostics to confirm their product was causing electrical issues. Persistent to claim the superiority of their product as any report of a problem was UNTHINKABLE. The audacity

They have totally ignored me when I've consistently pleaded that they do the right thing and simply honor their statements of their "no question asked" returns/repairs/replacement as advertised on their site. I wasn't even asking for a refund, just for them to honor the replacement or repair.

I once ignorantly defended this company against those who presented negative reviews.

I ignored the signs and now I'm the fool for not acknowledging the legitimacy of the numerous negative claims and reviews of those individuals who had already called out this company as bad news.

You can view for yourself how they treat customers who have purchased their products by visiting BBB and perform a search for NavTool.

Review this companies responses given for all the claims against them and it will or should become immediately very clear that you don't want to deal with a company that treats people with such dismissive, degenerative reponses and with such an arrogant attitude.

If you perform due diligence and do the research before committing to any purchase from NavTool, you will spare yourself much humiliation and financial loss.

You could alternatively, purchase their product, toss the dice and "maybe" you'll be up and running without requiring little if any assistance from them. But why even take such a gambled chance?

Save yourself the headache of posting negative reviews on review sites after the fact.... and simply don't support them or they'll continue to get away with unprofessional behavior and criminal acts b/c you will potentially enable them to do so when you buy their products.

The only way to make change unfortunately is to hurt their $$. Otherwise, you're enabling them and they'll continue their bad behavior.
--===============================
COUNTER-RESPONSE TO NAVTOOL
--===============================
I'm an honest & truthful individual aware that oftentime negative reviews can "sometimes" be folks wrongfully exhorting accusations of businesses to discredit them.

But also very cognizant that businesses can be equally manipulative of the narrative to offset truthful statements and continue their bad behavior of consumer deception.

NavTool attempts comparisons using Apple as an example.

However, FACT: check BBB for Apple you'll note that although I'm certain Apple does in fact have some unsatisfied customers; they sustain an overall A+ rating.

On the contrary, FACT: check BBB for NavTool as an outstanding track record of F.

View complaints and you'll note a consistent pattern. View the responses and you'll see the ethics of this company. They are bad news. BE WARNED!! But don't just take my word. Don't rely solely on 5 stars either.

They want YOU to believe their negative reviews are all customers out to get the them or didn't purchase from them. And to add, they've now lied about me in response to cover their misconduct. It's laughable & shameful

Setting the Record Straight – The Truth About NavTool

NavTool has been a trusted name in automotive integration for over 25 years, manufacturing millions of units in the USA. We wouldn’t still be in business if our products and customer service were as bad as this reviewer claims. Instead of providing an honest review, they have resorted to manipulation, exaggeration, and outright falsehoods.

100% DIY, But Directions Must Be Followed
NavTool products are designed for DIY installation, but success depends on following the provided instructions.
✔ Step-by-step installation guides
✔ Video tutorials
✔ Technical support assistance

This reviewer’s problem is not NavTool—it’s their complete refusal to follow directions:
❌ They ignored installation instructions.
❌ They refused troubleshooting guidance.
❌ They rejected professional installation when advised.

A properly installed NavTool system works flawlessly. Customers who read and follow the instructions do not have these issues.

Dealerships Are NOT Aftermarket Experts
The reviewer claims a dealership diagnosed NavTool as the issue—this is misleading and inaccurate because:
🔹 Dealership technicians are NOT trained in aftermarket integrations—they only work with factory-installed systems.
🔹 Thousands of professional installers successfully use NavTool products every day.
🔹 Had this customer taken the system to a qualified installer, this entire situation could have been avoided.

False Claims About Returns & Support
NavTool has clear return, repair, and replacement policies that apply fairly to all customers. This reviewer:
❌ Was given options for resolution but refused to follow the process.
❌ Ignored required troubleshooting steps.
❌ Now claims "no questions asked" means rules don’t apply to them—which is not how any business operates.

Where Are the Happy Customers?
This reviewer falsely claims that all positive reviews are fake—which is completely absurd. Most satisfied customers don’t leave reviews. Even Apple, one of the most successful companies in history, has:
🔹 Yelp: 2.8 stars (72,000+ reviews)
🔹 Trustpilot: 1.8 stars (10,000+ reviews)

If online complaints were an accurate measure of quality, Apple would be considered a terrible company—yet millions of people buy their products daily. The same applies here.

The BBB Myth
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is NOT a government agency—it is a pay-for-ratings company.
✔ Apple, Tesla, Amazon are NOT BBB accredited because accreditation is a paid service that has no bearing on quality.
✔ The BBB’s rating system has been widely criticized for its lack of credibility.

Using the BBB as "proof" of anything demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how real businesses operate.

The Real Issue: Customer Negligence
This is not about a faulty product or bad service. It’s about a customer who:
❌ Ignored installation instructions.
❌ Refused to troubleshoot.
❌ Rejected professional installation.
❌ Is now attempting to smear NavTool instead of taking responsibility.

NavTool’s Commitment to Customers
NavTool supports real customers who engage in good faith. We will not cater to individuals who refuse to follow directions and then blame us.

✔ Follow the instructions.
✔ Use support resources if needed.
✔ Seek professional installation if unsure.

We remain committed to quality, innovation, and real customer satisfaction—despite attempts by a handful of individuals to spread misinformation.

Excellent CarPlay Experience!

NavTool made it incredibly easy to pair my Android with my Jeep Cherokee. The clear, step-by-step instructions and reliable performance truly saved the day.

Absolute nightmare & no customer service at all

Further update following the vendor's second successive inaccurate and untrue response:

No, I have absolutely NOT once received ANY documentation, other than the one-page wiring diagram (and even that took quite some doing to secure) You keep saying that the installation manual has been sent to me, multiple times. You say that you have sent “…the correct documentation for your specific vehicle, along with additional support resources.” Fine, please advise exactly how and when this was sent. Give dates and times of whatever communication was sent, because I have copies of each and every email (and Live Chat) that I have sent and each and every reply that I have received.

The majority of the replies from NavTool simply either promise that documentation will be sent, or that it has already been sent, but not one single communication actually provides any documentation, other than one email dated 9 Feb 2025, 14:01 GMT, which provided:
1. One hyperlink, sent twice in the same email, which opens a PDF of a one-page wiring diagram.
2. One further hyperlink, also sent twice in this same email, to a video showing operation guide of the settings and menus. This video would be actually helpful in configuring the device once the installation has been complete, but is no help at all in actually completing the installation.
That’s it. No other documentation whatsoever has been received either with the product when shipped or via email or chat or any other method since then. None.

So exactly what installation manual do you have for the product you sold to me and why, if such exists, can you not simply now send it to me?

And if you truly believe that it has been sent then please advise (a) exactly what was sent and (b) exactly how and when it was sent. Nothing other than the one page wiring diagram, and the link to the post installation configuration settings, has been received by me at any time.

If you cared one iota about customer service then rather than repeatedly misstating what has happened here in Trustpilot, someone would actually reach out directly to me to get this resolved. Absent any installation manual and absent any genuine effort from anyone at NavTool to provide that, I can only stand by my assertion that NavTool, at least for vehicles where you have chosen for whatever reason not to produce an installation manual as you previously did, is a sham and a total waste of a not insignificant amount of money for a product that cannot be used because there is NO installation instruction whatsoever provided. None.

You claim that your team ‘has gone above and beyond to assist’ me and yet the only real effort invested seems to be to refute my wholly accurate review on this public forum. Please... contact me directly to offer a proper resolution. Either proper installation manual (as you repeatedly claim has been sent but which has absolutely not been received) or a full refund for a product that, absent installation documentation, cannot be used.

We understand that installing a product like this can be a new challenge for some customers, and we do everything we can to provide clear documentation and support to make the process as smooth as possible. This is a do-it-yourself (DIY) product, designed for at-home installation, and many of our customers successfully install it without the need for professional help. That said, like any aftermarket electronic system, it does require some patience and attention to detail, just like any other DIY project.

We need to clarify that the correct installation documentation for your specific vehicle has been sent multiple times. This includes a wiring diagram and a video walkthrough to help with setup. If you missed these materials or had trouble accessing them, we are happy to resend them and can even provide timestamps showing exactly when they were sent.

Our company has been around for years, and we’ve sold millions of these interfaces. If we didn’t provide proper installation instructions, it would be impossible for so many customers to install and use them successfully. The reality is that thousands of people complete this installation at home every year using the same materials that were provided to you.

We understand that some customers expect this to be a simple plug-and-play solution, but like any DIY automotive upgrade, some steps require careful wiring and setup. This is not a product that installs itself, and while professional installers can complete these jobs faster due to experience, many customers without professional backgrounds have successfully completed their installations by following the provided instructions carefully.

We completely sympathize with the frustration of wanting a quick and easy install, but it’s important to have the right expectations. This is a product designed for do-it-yourself installation at home, and while we provide all the necessary tools, success depends on carefully following the documentation and taking the time to complete each step properly.

That being said, we are absolutely here to help. If you need any additional guidance, we’re happy to assist in any way we can. Our goal is always to ensure our customers get their system up and running successfully. If you need us to resend anything or walk you through part of the process, just let us know, we’re here to support you.

The company spends more time boasting…

The company spends more time boasting about how great they are and how many units they sell people, but ignore the actual questions.

When I inquired about help I was given attitude and treated poorly. The device doesn't do exactly what they said it did when I inquired. Of course it's according to them because I'm not an "expert".

I asked for installation instructions when I made the purchase and I was ignored. They will send you old videos that don't show you everything as "How to" or you can pay them to walk you through it?

They specifically ask you to go through Venmo to cover the disputes you give due to bad products. They even threatened me with their legal department.

When I told them my issues they stated that Its because I have no knowledge and hence why I should have paid a professional or that my vehicle is faulty, no way it could be their piece of electronics.

If you simply do a filter for 1 star reviews or use a search engine you will find others with similar complaints.

Thank you for your feedback. We truly value all of our customers and are committed to providing the best support possible. It’s clear from your message that you feel frustrated, and we sincerely regret that our efforts to help have not met your expectations.

Let us address each of your concerns directly:

1. Regarding Product Support and Perception:
We understand that when you reach out for help, you expect quick and professional results, much like a seasoned technician would deliver. However, troubleshooting and installation require a certain level of patience and willingness to follow the guidance provided by our technical support team. Our team has repeatedly tried to assist you, but it appears that our efforts to walk you through specific solutions were met with resistance.

Please know that we are not dismissing your concerns or expertise; we are simply trying to guide you step by step to ensure success. Our goal is to empower customers, regardless of skill level, to achieve the results they desire with our products.

2. Installation Instructions and Videos:
You mentioned that the videos provided were “old.” While we understand your concern, if your car is a 2015-2017 model, the physical system in your vehicle has not changed. The videos we supply remain accurate because the car's design remains the same.

If something within the video was unclear, our free 24/7 technical support team was and remains available to clarify any questions. It’s important to note that our support is completely free of charge. The optional, one-on-one video call service is for those who request personalized, dedicated assistance throughout the entire installation—similar to hiring a professional technician.

3. Payments and Disputes:
We offer Venmo aka Paypal as an additional payment method for customer convenience, but we also accept traditional payment options. We have never asked you to use Venmo to avoid disputes. Any suggestion otherwise is a misunderstanding, and we are committed to ensuring all transactions are secure and transparent.

4. Legal Concerns:
We want to clarify that we did not threaten you with legal action. At your request, your concerns were forwarded to our legal department, who responded professionally to address your questions. There are no records of threats or inappropriate communications from our team.

We have gone to great lengths to assist you because we want you to succeed with our product. However, we also recognize that expectations and outcomes may differ, particularly when technical assistance is needed. Our team has invested time, effort, and resources to walk you through solutions, but we understand that troubleshooting can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Our support team remains here for you, 24/7, at no additional cost. We only ask that you meet us halfway: follow the steps provided and trust the process. We genuinely want to help you resolve your concerns and ensure you are satisfied with your purchase.

Back for a second unit after a good first experience

I purchased my second NavTool unit after installing one in my Cadillac CTS. My NavTool has been stable in both hot and cold extreme temperatures and it makes a 15 year old car feel new. This second unit was installed in a 2009 BMW X5 which didn't come standard with a backup camera. With the NavTool, I have been able to easily add an aftermarket camera and can check the footage even while the vehicle is moving. Install was easy and support has been helpful at answering my technical questions.

We want to clarify that you are not a verified customer of our company. As we have stated multiple times on our website, our products are only guaranteed when purchased directly from us. Purchasing from third-party resellers, especially if the item is marked as "open box" or similar, carries risks, as we cannot verify the product’s history or condition.

Please understand that we cannot offer support for items bought from unauthorized third-party sources. This review does not reflect a legitimate purchase of a new product from us, as no order number, purchase date, or customer information was provided to confirm it.

Thank you for understanding. We encourage all customers to purchase directly from us for a genuine and supported product experience.

Poor customer service from NavTool

I purchased Carplay from NavTool. It was installed in a 2018 Acura RDX. It worked great for 3 months and then I started having problems. The system could not be loaded by the car system. It took unplugging and then plugging the unit back it for it to work. After dealing with this for 2 weeks, I contacted NavTool and was told I needed to update the unit. It again worked well for about 1 month before I need to unplug and plug the unit back in to get it to work. I contacted them again and was told I needed another update. I updated and the unit ran well for 1 week. I was then back to unplugging and plugging the unit back in to work. I contacted NavTool again and told them I wanted to return the unit for a replacement or refund as I had only had the unit for 7 months. They said that they would send me an email on how to return. I never received an email. It took me over 1 week to actually contact someone to get this issue resolved. I was told that the problem was my gmail (I have no other problem getting emails from anyone else including loads of spam!). I finally got instructions on where to return the unit and was told they would contact me. 2 weeks after they received, I still had no response! This is terrible customer service and a product that has not worked consistently in my vehicle as advertised. The real problem was unless I pay the installer to remove the unit and put the wiring back to original, my back up camera doesn't work.
2 weeks was more than enough for them to replace or repair the unit. I was finally reached them, they said they were waiting for a part. I told them they needed to refund my money or I would publish this review. They then told me that my warranty was void. They also informed me I needed to contact them through their legal department, for any further communication.
They returned the unit which still did not work!
I wasted all that money and have a unit that does not work. I also had to pay the installer to remove the unit. Conclusion, if you have a problem with this product, customer service is poor. They will not back their warranty. If you press them they void your warranty and you must deal with their legal department.
You will also see that they have similar claims against them with the better business bureau for the same response to others with a problem.

Now they respond to my review stating "I did not buy the unit from them", but I have a receipt with PO # 14104348 dated 9/28/2023. I would post a redacted copy online if the review allowed. I bought the unit directly from them. The lies continue instead of providing good customer service and standing behind their warranty.

Overall thoughts on the NavTool

All in all the NavTool is a very intriguing and helpful product that I'd recommend to others who drive. I think it can be utilized in various ways, and it provides a safe opportunity for users to have access to the same applications they have on their phones/computers while they're in their cars. Listening to music, making a phone call, or even tuning into an audiobook while on the road has become much more practical with tools like this!

I so need this in my car

I would love to have this product in my car for sure, but it would have been great to see a short clip about how to install it because I have no clue. I also missed out on a couple of information written right at the top of the video because the whole video went so fast and he was talking fast too. I like the fact that this can be installed on not just the newer cars but on any car.

I love this addition to my car, I'm happy knowing I get to use the apps on my older car just like the new ones. The quality of the graphics feels like I'm watching a TV. The button attachment for the steering wheel is easy to use very durable and does not come off easily.
