Satnav

Post by jagr » Sun Oct 25, 2015 10:24 pm

Fitted my new popup screen satnav that I brought back from the USA

So far it's pretty good.

I guess it's an after market unit.

How easy was it to fit?

Nice job, I had the IGO8 satnav software running in my aftermarket headunit in the Golf and really rate it, better than my BMW one .the one thing I didn't like with the IGO 8 was the noise it makes for speed camera warnings I just turned them off in settings.
What make is it, and is it available in the UK, as my lad has a 1 series and fancies a built in satnav system.

surely the version you have can easily be shipped from the US, or bought via ebay u.s?

That looks nice.

Does it fold down or always stay upright when the ignition is off?
