my dad is supposed to be picking up his 172 tomorrow, (with sat nav)
were both useless with directions, so ill let you know.
its also an option so it shouldnt be too hard to sort,
looking in the renault book there are 2 types one is £1000, and the other £1500
i hope this is of some use to you
Roamer is the man to ask. However hereare few pics to keep you busy:

I installed satnav using a Road Angel GPS radar detector connected to a Compaq iPAQ, purchased a Brodit in-car mount and the cable kit, hey presto voice guided satnav at a fraction of the price and it can be taken from vehicle to vehicle.
You wouldnt be able to get the renault option fitted without replacing the top half of the dash, a few hundred quid for starters!
Let me know if you want any more info.

For the price Renault is asking I got:
Full sat nav unit.
8 CD Changer
7" widescreen motorised unit with seperate hideaway control box with 2x AV IN, 2 x PRE outs, Reverse camera auto switching, TV tuner option.. and loads more
My sat nav system provides voice guidance while listening to CD/RADIO etc and will lower the volume automatically so that you can hear the voice guidance prompts.
Much better than the renault crappy one (no offence to those that have it but things have moved on technology wise now)
The DC-DC Power Supply is intelligent.
It wont reset on engine crank, and itll shut down and startup properly.
It has a remote line, so it shuts down at a set time after it has lost the remote.. when it detects remote, it starts it up.. it has a connecter to the Power Swtich connectors on the mobo. Expensive, but worth it really.. dont wanna really be watching a DVD and have to start the engine, and watch it reset!
Screen is VGA too.. so I wont have a blurred screen like I would with composite/s-video out.

Ah excellent, was gonna say I looked into this a while back but didnt find a viable soloution to it other than the circuit at www.dashpc.com
Yes you need vga in otherwise it would look terrible, just make sure you dont put winblows on it
Use gpsdrive for navigation and dashpc for a GUI in a linux box..
Ive already got Nav.. and I aint using Linux in the car..
Got a good Nav package, which does Europe too, with all the postcodes, voice nav and visual etc.. (it works in Windows or Linux) - Got a deal on it when I bought the GPS Mouse.
Yea, was going to get a normal screen, but then found this 7" VGA Touchscreen, so no mouse/keyboard or anything, and crystal clear (You can read 10pt text on it at 1600x1200 apparently).
Both the screen and power supply are from America - cant seem to get them here!
I just got the latest sat nav put in my Williams. Its the new HCE system or humanoid cartographic enhancement system
