Quote:- '.....all 3.2 Elites have Sat Nav's, but 99.9% of them have the basic systems with small monochrome screens - our car has the upgraded system with 5" full colour screen showing a scaleable map and pictorial guide - this was a £1,200 option. Our car also has an integrated hands free telephone, again a £1,000 option at new - simply place your sim card in the holder and you have a fully functioning, 'proper' car telephone.'
Hmmm the Sat Nav's are all the same regardless of it being an NCDR2013 or 2015, the colour screen adds better functionality I would agree but it's wrong to say that the mono is basic in comparison.
Scary to think they charged £2,200 at the dealers for the GSM telematics unit and a CID, the head unit is just a different facia.... A new telematics went for £49 on eBay the other day and I had a new CID fitted to mine when I bought it for at least £2000 less than the total price above.
When I see numbers like that it reminds me why I would never buy a new car!
