I am changing my mfd and radar from Garmin to the Navet 3 and DRS4DNXT radar.
will the navnat still show ais targets if connected to nema 2000 that is a gramin ais transponder

As long as the AIS is providing standard NMEA 2000 sentences it will show. AIS will show on the plotter screen easy but to show up on a radar you require heading be available to the system so it knows where to place the targets in the 360 degrees of the radar image.

Thank you
So adding a heading sensor would let it show on the radar

 

[Johnny Electron]

Yes and also allow radar to overlay the plotter screen. Heading also enables ARPA and other features.

To piggyback on Johnny, the SCX-20 is worth every penny. I have 2 boats with Furuno systems on them. Between the heading accuracy, and the heaving compensation that cleans the sounder images up I wouldn’t want to have the systems without them.
