Built in Sat Nav

[GTJones]

Who said renault were the only one's to provide built in Tomtom Sat Nav



Had a "Can that fit in there" day today and must admit the sat nav fits really well.

Easy to do all i need now is some black leatherete to cover the mounting board



Job done - can also remove it very easy for security

out of date already, not wide screen

Neat. However would not like to loose the fresh air vent, especially with the side vents being so poor.
My answer was a blaupunkt single DIN sat nav, okay you don't get as much real estate as a tomtom but looks neat plus also Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity.

A little while ago i thought about doing this..... but the more i thought about it the more i figured there had to be an easier way........ in the end i opted for Sat Nav App on the Iphone and then a vent-mounted holder off ebay for a fiver - job done and can revert to the original look in 30 secs

Not very useful at the moment though with a stationary Stag !

I have a map mounted in the map pocket, very neat and easy to use

My Tom Tom is also out of date and not wide screen.:X


For a damn good reason. IMHO sat nav is very useful showing me at the the bottom of the screen and where I am going at the top of the screen.

The bits at the side are where I would have ended up had I not bought a Tom Tom

I do think that that is a great idea to put a sat nav there.

I have plenty of ventilation in my Stag---the roof is normally off and if it isn't the quarterlight windows allow plenty of air in.

I am about to get rid of the drivers side eyeball vent and replace it with a 60mm clock from a P6 rover.

How have you allowed the satnav to fix in place and be easily removed?

Also what method of wiring it in have you used?

Looks good Steve--- I wanted a 60mm one to do away with the black ring , it will mirror the 60mm warning light cluster on the opposite side.

What is an o2 gauge?

Just what I did Darren - gives a balanced look to the dashboard. I did away with the air ducting from the side of the blower, which feeds the right-hand eyeball, and blanked off the outlet with a disc of the correct diameter, secured in place with gaffer tape. Still OK after 7 years.

Mine's been replaced by a clock but I do notice in dampish weather that the drivers side window is really difficult to de-mist. Terry
