How did you know - were you watching too?

I know NOTHING about the colour sat navs, are they any good?  ::)

Think it will need a cambelt kit as the VERY first job, otherwise all seems good, talking to the seller.

Not brilliant, but do the job - bit like the earlier carin, PITA to enter destination, but once done, will get you there.

IME, carin better in built up areas than Siemens ones

Can MDTM or I borrow your radio/screen for a few days if you have the correct carpass for it?


The system is worthwhile, but suffers (like most systems from that era) with clunky input system.  Trouble is with standard TomToms is they ask for car to be broken into - thieves can spot the circle marks on the windscreen a mile off.  Also, I think anything mounted in field of vision should be banned - we've all followed a chav down the motorway with satnav mounted right in middle of screen, being hit constantly by the fury dice...
