Ye it looks good but way too pricey.. better getting a 1DIN unit for ~600 quid
600quid 1 DIN Sat Nav Unit?
VDO Dayton MS5000 (Which is what Renault use) is about £1500 new fitted etc.. about the same as it is to have it fully integrated by Renault!
You can pick them up for about £1000 on ebay, but still.. its not fully integrated then! So, say £1000 getting the nav, £600 for screen.. it works out loads more.
I do like the look of this though.

Its ok.. I guess its what ya want?
I liked my full screen, 3D mapping thing.. but it was impractical mainly because the screen wasnt integrated!
£480, you could do a lot worse.. as long as it tells you where to go, it should be fine!
Looks nice too!
Check on ebay.co.uk - sometimes some good bargains on there!

Go to halfords...Get a Big A to Z £5 tops.
Think sat nav is a real waste of cash and should b brought by girls and people who drive 50k miles a year
how do you justify that comment?
maybe its a waste of cash for you, and your needs, but thats another story.
Girls? why just girls? anyone who can afford it, and doesnt like running the risk of getting lost, is perfectly entitled to have it fitted, without some guy on cliosport calling it a waste of money. Its all down to personal preference, im sure people on here could say its a waste to spend money on some things you may spend money on...
as for 50k miles a year, not if those 50k miles are done travelling to places you know well, then itd be pointless. What about people who do less than 50k a year, but to places they dont have a clue how to get to...
think someone needs to broaden their mind a little....
I agree with Iain C to a certain extent here! Surely not all the people who buy sat nav are driving to places they dont have a clue how to get to often enough to justify spending over a grand on it. Surely a map would be just as useful?
Its their choice at the end of the day but if you REALLY need one then just get one for 500-600 pound.
yeah, but then an ICE install is a waste of money by that definition... surely a box and a sub would be just as useful as a full install...?
Btw, it can be hard to read maps, especially when driving... I personally know, that as soon as i hit the city, even with a map, then im lost. No time to read a map as its the city, and signs dont help at all either.
At the end of the day, sat nav is useful to have, one day youll thank yourself for buying it, i can almost guarentee it, and i can guarentee that one day in youre life youll hate yourself for not having it
Anyway, everything is relative, to one person £1k may be pennies, to another person £1k may be everything...
Previous threads talk about a PDAs with sat nav.
I use a Garmin Ique 3600. £650 with 256MB ram.
Use it all the time for work. Nothing worse than getting to a location and a map says go down the Bxxxx. B roads do not have sign posts most of the time and only have road names.
Brilliant for finding exact location.
PS I needed to goto Italy for a training course. Took the PDA. What a relief navigating around Florence with the PDA.

The temp sensor is totally idependant to the HU, as is the clock.
As for sat-nav I sold mine because I never used it enough.. now I miss it.. It was soo handy sometimes, I drove from Edinburgh to a Cabin in York without taking 1 wrong direction.. It was one of the most foggy nights I have ever seen, couldnt see more than 30 yards infront, the nav unit would announce roundabouts comming up which was so reassuring.
They are class peices of equipment if a little expensive to justify.
Just go for a PDA package, ive got a bluetooth one, GPS reciever sits on the dash and the PDA sits in a cradle on the windscreen, totally wireless. You can use the pda as a pda/mp3 player etc. Mine was an impulse buy from Dixons, cost me £500, but you can get them much cheaper off ebay, or imported from the states.
I ahve TomTom2 sat nav, soon to be upgraded to TomTom3, and its great, you can have a map view, or nav view, in 3d view or birds eye view, you van see where your going, and you get voice guidence too, you can view way points such as hotels, patrol stations hospitals etc. The amount of extra software you can get is fantastic too, stuff like speed camera overlays.
Ford Fiesta
yeah Im looking forward to testing it, I hear you can get a disc thats adds traffic master too?
I realise the temp and clock are seperate to the headunit but just wanted to make sure the display of clock and temp is on the sat nav screen like it is on the original clio display that that the sat nav removes.
