I think you'd be better fibreglassing some sort of mount/enclosure to hold a tomtom where the normal nav is, would look cool and be useful. Then hardwire power to it and mount the old display in it too.
I have it in my 172. I used it just two days ago to get into London from Kent. The only real downside is the lack of postcode input. You have to have the actual address which can take a little getting used to. It has no touch screen either. But looks good being built in.
Mine was out of date but got a 2009 maps disc last year for under £20 on ebay. I sometimes just use it to have the map displayed for getting about, but usually have the whole thing on standby.
had it in my 182 and don't know why people were making it out to be crap, i though it was fairly good, used it plenty of times and as long as you had an updated map disc (i had 2008) the it does the job, saying that most of your tom toms and garmins etc.. are that bit better so i wouldn't go to the expense of retrofitting it
you can do 5 digit postcode searches on the carminat system and then pick the street from there
yeh thinking about it i'm sure your right mate, i'm sure the actual dash itself was silly money new from the stealers, the prices are in a thread on here somewhere from a while back
You'd be better off getting a top notch flip out screen head unit like a kenwood with the added sat nav option. Be a few quid but 100x better than the Clio one and it'll probably be cheaper!
I understand you wanting an OEM look though which is the reason I still have the STD head unit!
I've got it in my flamer. I do think it's a really good addition, although it isn't very good to actually use, due to lack of postcode input. I love the look of it.
My main issue is that mine is 8years old so sometimes I find that I am driving across land, according to the sat nave lol... But it has come in useful on a couple of occasions.
