Just to top it off !

[Has]

Since starting work ive been really busy and looks like ill be busy until im back at Uni again.

So ive not really had time to play with the car as its practically in a state of how i want it and its now just a case of keeping it running etc...

So my itchy fingers have been wanting to mod something lol

With the lack of free time i have been working on this project for 2 weeks, the idea has been in my head tho for about a year now heheh (slacker!)

Was fed up with my TomTom sat nav setup.... cabling, cradle etc.
So needed a proper install which cud be removed if the car was sold.

So i began devising a way and ended up with the following:










How ive been driving for the last 2 weeks

Now the cleaver bit!

Full mould of the dash top with my TomTom cradle part cut into place. Power cabling done via the back and then re-trimmed with the same vinyl top as dash. To give a clean OEM finish.

The swivel base still works and functions completly well. All features still work with built in bluetooth handsfree etc..

TomTom just clips into place and remain solid!
Able to swivel from passanger to driver.

TT powers on when car starts up and powers down when i turn off ignition :approve:

All working on my test run!

Now with TT removed im left with a very OEM look install with no wiring or messy cradles to see

And just a quickclip of it working (excuse the shaky camera hehe)

Enjoy ! :star:



*I looked at doing this with the new range *10 series, but the cradle will not allow this type of install.

I have a lfip out unit still and tbh the sat nav on that is useless !

Feature wise it cannot compete with mr tomtom

Plus now i can watch a DVD while being directed (.....samsh) :rasp:

Piss poor, if it did the whole rising-out-of-the-dash thing (like the flying lady in a Rolls Royce grill) I'd be more impressed.

Nah, that's actually quite impressive, could never do that myself.

 

[GarethM]

very good has, impressive

 

[cat171]

That must have taken some work there !!
It looks spot on Has.

[pecan]

Great mod Has. Looks factory fitted.

 

[nezza]

That is cool... any chance of a full guide on how you did this? I am very interested in doing the same as you as I hate the tacky brackets that are supplied with A/M Sat nav!!

 

[Timmay]

You should seriously start selling those to fellow clio owners!

[nezza]

Heres a nice splash screen for your Tomtom to compliment it... Although you might want to lose the 172 as yours obviously isn't one...

*Just convert to Bitmap and save to splash.bmp
