Fitting a nice Sat nav into the dash...
Apologies for starting a new thread on what is, probably, an old topic.
Basically, what do I need to know about connecting up a fixed Sat nav? Which units would you recommend in terms of size, compatibility. I've seen modern units on eBay which have 75 compatibility, then say that you need to trim of lugs with a craft knife... So, very basic advice needed here. |

Me too
Glad this subject came up. I'd like to jump on the bandwagon. My Connie's original satnav computer eventually gave up (water in the boot) and it seems to have affected the general functioning of the head unit. I need a complete replacement. Seen many options, including those for BMW S3, but not ever been sure exactly "what's in the box". Klarzy-dials says Navall does everything and I can see that Navall is the most referenced satnav in the 75ZT forum, so that's probably the way I'll go. But I'm still not sure. If anyone else can give me some reassurance I'd be very pleased.

ended up with a large apple box of bits which sold on ebay for 100.00 and replaced it with something the size of a box of tea bags, less weight and more room in the boot... does everything the old one did and much more with better sound... can be pricey if you go for the bells and whistles versions but a definite improvement...

Thanks for that. It looks like I would want some bells & whistles just to get what I had before, e.g. DVB. I understand the CD changer would become redundant? No big deal since I am in the process of xferring my CDs to memory sticks anyway. What about the trip computer info? I have no interest in Bluetooth, internet access, smartphone stuff etc, though the marketing info bangs on about these features interminably! Anyway, thanks again.
