Good GOD!
I just read the DIY on putting in an OEM Sat/Nav. I applaud the guy who did it and the write-up is clear and I think I could do it. But why? :? Wouldn’t an aftermarket GPS do the same thing as good or better? If I wanted one with an OEM unit, I bet I would be money ahead to just trade my current Zed for one with an OEM unit already in it. Of course there are those who love to do DIY but this one does not make sense to me.

I was shocked at just ho much of a premium Sat Nav seems to add to a car. I only recently bought mine, and have included a couple of examples from autotrader, with the age, spec milage etc which I was looking for.
Cheapest 3.0i in my area, with a good spec

On top of this the Manual versions seem to be rarer still!
If I hadnt been able to find the spec I was after for a good price, I would definitely had retrofitted Sat Nav..
