Aftermarket Headunit with Factory Fit Sat Nav

[si_hartlepool]

Is their an aftermarket headunit that won't affect the following;

Steering Wheel Controls
Factory Fit Sat Nav - The sat nav screen also displays the radio information etc.

I know there are headunits available that allow integration with the steering wheel controls (Alpine?) but what about with the sat nav?

Cheers

none do that, adapters needed for stalks and the display on satnav cant be retained

Great

infact pretty sure the steering control lead isnt compatible with satnav models

Can a small tomtom or garmin fit in the cubby hole where the nav would normally go?

Probably, but it won't particularly look good.

I'm not bothered about having the sat nav (it does looks cool though) but i don't want to pull it out for the sake of a new headunit.

Looks like i'm stuck with the standard one.

If you want more connectivity etc get one of the Parrott car kits that also does iPods.

The one I used to have also had its own amp, which was better than what the Golf could manage

It's not connectivity i'm after. I've got ipod connectivity through the standard unit.

I'm just sick of having poor quality music through the speakers. I was hoping to upgrade the headunit then upgrade the speakers.

I'm gutted with the prospect of having to either pull the nav out or live with it!!

he was referring to the info on the display for the radio on the satnav but it is a pretty crap satnav tbh.lol

You could always run an amp from a speak-level connection.

May not be the last word in quality, but, well, horses for courses

Do you still get the radio info etc. on the sat nav display?

Last resort
