Is it possible to add intergrated auto steer to a 2003 stx 450? Worth it or is there a better aftermarket system like Trimble or outback?

Yes it is possible. I did our 2002 STX but I had the nav controller and antenna to swap into it from the combine.I also added the ISOBUS harness to control a flexicoil bin with the one monitor (pro600)
It was likely cheaper to go with a trimble system but it come up good and I wasn't selling to tractor anytime soon

If you decide to go Outback I have a hydraulic valve kit for it. Will sell it for half of new.

I would say go with Trimble. U can run rangepoint FTx for $200 a year. With outback (I have both), u are stuck with waas. As well if u buy from a case dealer they will know how to get it setup for ur tractor. I run omnistar in my quadtrac and it is awesome. $800 per year is cheap when u consider 0 overlaps. Just 10" rows across the field.

For some reason I want to say that integrated costs around 10,000. Can't remember though. We run a Trimble EZ-Guide 500 with a Trimble EZ-Steer in a STX450 Quadtrac. Works great.

No your not, Outback has Two options for RTK. I have one of them and it works well and there is no subscriptions to pay.
