Chassis number 'decoder' and GPS antenna
Hi,
I've purchased a used '04 406 2.0 HDi stw. However I would like to know exactly which motor, equipment and 'features' (like antispin etc) this vehicle was equipped with originally.
Would this be possible to find this out off the chassis number? Does it exists tables or data to find such data on the Net?
Also, my car is not equipped with Navigation. However I would like to mount a GPS, and I wonder if there is a Navi antenna prefit somewhere (in the windscreen?) Any comments on this (and where / how to mount and exteranal GPS antenna if there is no other solution...)
regards
Tor

Yeah I figured that bit outteamster1975 wrote:Thank god for thatThe royal mail can be trusted sometimes! All the leads are in the correct place to be wired straight in, the connector will slot into the existing one.

The boggling thing though is the numbering on the wires - wtf did you rip this out of? It can't have been a 406!

Re: Chassis number 'decoder' and GPS antenna
I'll let you into a secret, I made it up myself, copied my one so you didn't have to piss about. The wires are odds and sods I had left over when I wired the leccy rear windows into my LX, may it rest in peacemjb wrote:The boggling thing though is the numbering on the wires - wtf did you rip this out of?

You owe me a beer or two should our paths ever cross

Re: Chassis number 'decoder' and GPS antenna
Anyone knowing if a '04 406 station wagon despite lack of fitted navigation has a gps antenna (in the windscreen) with cable to use with a non-original gps unit?
If yes, where do I find (the plug end of ) the cable...?
Thanks for any hints on this issue
