I'm looking to see if its possible to upgrade the Sat Nav and add digital TV. Does anyone have any experience of this ? Many Thanks

As much as I agree, unless you leave it so that you can re-install the factory nav etc... this will look unbelievably chav-tastic for any prospective buyers...

If the install is done to high standards and you are going to keep the car for a long period....who cares about perspective buyers! In Car tech has moved on soo much since the satnav in our cars.....On the flip side - it's a costly modification and its not just a case of 'Ripping it out'.... :driving:
 
If it was done to an impossibly high standard, beautifully integrated, made to look OEM, etc.... you'd STILL put off 95% of all buyers and I fear burn an awful lot of money in the process.

None of us care about "the next guy" until it comes to sale time. You're not talking about dying a seat, changing some wheels, this is major work to the interior.

If you wanted to be clever you could probably gut the flip-up monitor and replace it with a large-screen garmin/tomtom or something. Could wire it to your AUX input and it isn't too hard to control everything from the dials without the screen working
