Hi,

I pick it up friday night, so i will have some more pictures soon: -

Does anybody need a CD Mulitchanger and the cassett player to go with?

Does anybody know if the built in sat nav is any good, cos it looks to me like a load of sh*t. SO was planning on selling it on ebay

'A load of sh*t' is pretty much the opinion around here of the factory sat nav.

Seconded, factory sat nav is shyte.

I've probably used it "properly" no more than a dozen times, and only about 50% of those were stress and incident free.

I mean don't get me wrong, it'll get you where you're going. The problem I find with it is it's a bit slow to tell you your next move, things like "in 100 yards at the roundabout take the 5th exit", yeah right, it's a 4 lane road and I'm in the left one :shock: :evil: ). Then when you have to take the wrong exit it's a bit slow to react, recalculating............"turn right", oh that's the right we just passed then :frown: , recalculating..............."make a u-turn where possible", it's a fekkin dual carriageway with no break in the central reservation for 17 miles!!!! :evil: :evil: . You get my drift.

But it is considerably better than trying to read a map while you're driving.

When I first got the car I used to put the sat nav on even to go to the corner shop, just for the novelty factor, but now I've got a PDA with tomtom and memory map 8) , I fear the fitted one will never be used again :?
