Hi guys,

Im new here. After looking around for a while i finally decided to get an 2009 accord VTI. I really wanted to V6 but it was a bit out of my price range. One of the main things that was drawing me towards the V6 was the factory GPS. Then i stumbbled apon a VTI with GPS built in. I thought it was a factory option at first (it looks like factory) but couldnt find any other cars with the same unit. Anyway i thought id share it for those who have a VTI and dont want to stick stuff on their windscreens.

PS. it doubles as DVD/AVI/MP3 player and has the option to hook up TV tuner and reverse camera.

cheers.

I've already looked into this.

They have discontinued the product about 1 year ago. :(

Ok cool. but the distributors may have stock that they didnt sell yet. Either way its not a very good one. I cant believe they were asking 2k for it! Ive only had my car less then a week but the more i play with it, the more i realise the interface is pretty rubbish, the sat nav is not that good. And it has a noisy cooling fan.

This other option looks better! I like the interface. And i prefer the screen to be mounted at the top of the dash.. What i want to know is, is the factory left, right, up, down and enter control knob able to control it? Because this is a touch screen. If its mounted all the way up there you can barely reach it from driving position. Also too bad about the wood grain..
