The internal drive is indeed just a component of the NAV unit, which is the top half, connected by a ribbon cable to the main (lower) part.
You can actually swap the Nav unit over between RNS's, there's no component protection or security coding in it.

All the external connections on the main/lower section are analogue, except possibly commands/status to/from the CD changer (and the NAV unit cable).
