Sat Nav ?

[LOC888]

Has anyone installed sat nav in their Euro yet?

[bigdongers]

I cant say I have seen any pics of a Euro owner who has installed Sat Nav. However these days there are many options for fitting Sat Nav. I have a IPAQ connected to a bluetooth GPS receiver which does my turn by turn Sat Nav for me. It is just stuck to the windscreen using a suction cup. The Navman PiN devices that Honda are selling for around $1000 (or less if you shop around) will do the same job.

Another option is to install a flip out screen in the dash outputting Sat Nav. Very pricy doing it this way though...

I am very keen to install a Sat Nav System on my Euro but not to sure where I should start! , WHat type of system I should get.

I agree with big dongers a gps in pocket pc is way more portable and typically less pricy than going in dash, i suppose its all about bling though

i will soon be getting a pocketpc gps satnav (navman pin 3000 i think its called) you can get things like that for a bout $800, but more comprehensive units come in at about 1000, with the indash ones i thing coming in at 1500+ (last time i checked), plus you need a tv screen etc,

goto places like calculator king or pda world



or expansys etc are great places

google for "navman pin" to see whats around, you can jump from there probobly

Would getting the sat Nav unit from the US Accord work in a euro? I was considering experimenting with that at one stage

when i bought my honda, i enquired abt the Honda sat Nav..its a $4000 option from honda...
i ended up getting the Navman icn635.
but i'm thinking of selling it cause its under utilised..

No this would not work as they have a different dash and screen.

well i read some article about in car PC.. and i know my friend in overseas does this.

They put touch screen in/on dash.
the pc also conected to the screen and to your headunit for the speaker output..
The PC allow us to play dvd, music etc etc.

Also, there is GPS receiver connected to the PC by USB. and get a GPS software installed in the pc.
overall it will cost about 2k but u already have complete incar entertaiment with the GPS.

would not work in any case as the US is DVD based and ours is CD based.

But I've done a few Euros, not hard at all, screen went down where the pocket is in front of the gear shifter, computer in the boot...
