Hi
I want to upgrade my flip out pioneer sat nav in my T350t.
What have you guys found that work well and does not interfere
with the gear lever when it flips out

My understanding was that everything interferes as it flips out in 1st/3rd/5th and actually the Pioneers had the smallest arc. Mine is also adjustable to some degree which seemed to reduce fouling.

I've currently got the AVIC-X1R but have a 7500BT ready to go in: can't comment on it as yet but looks pretty high spec.

I have the 7500BT with sat nav and reverse camera:



I like it - but if I'm honest, I still think the AVIC-X1 unit was better (had it in my first Tam), although the newer sat nav unit is miles better - it is tiny and the software stored on an SD card in the sat nav unit rather than a DVD taking up the slot in the main head unit.

...or reverse as is required for exiting my garage. It's really not a big deal.

No, no big deal at all. I leave the screen open most of the time now anyway by changing the option for automatic open/close.
