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

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
). 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
, recalculating..............."make a u-turn where possible", it's a fekkin dual carriageway with no break in the central reservation for 17 miles!!!!
. 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
, I fear the fitted one will never be used again
