Which one? Phillips Carin or Siemens Navteq?

Long story, but both my Omegas have the Carin and the Siemens VDO ones fitted.  Siemens is by far the better system, but the Carin does the job well, if a bit tedious entering addresses.

Not touch screen.
Addresses only.
No postcode function.
Also, unlike TomTom and similar, no POI - Points Of Interest - function addition is available.  The preloaded banks/garages etc are all you get.

It is, however, much quicker on pickup compared to TT and, POI apart, is quite good and I like it.

Carin has a control button near handbrake, Siemens has similar button on radio (but can us steering wheel controls with Siemens).

Both have broadly similar capabilities, and both lack postcode entry.

Siemens uses the computer display, carin has its one display near radio. Siemens has option of full colour display which offers a little bit more functionality.

on a pre 98.5 car, there is a really shitty job of wiring the carin loom to car. will also need the simple job of moving tc switch, but you;ll struggle to get a matching TC switch if yours is pre minifacelift

Easy enough to move to switch bank above radio, but a matching button is harder to find.
