I would like to upgrade to the large screen sat nav and comms system. Can anyone reccomend a fitter here in Manchester or near by? Also what kind of cost am I looking at for this?

you can retro fit but its not cheap

first you need to establish if you have a MOST bus optical wiring system (ie would you car have originally been fitted with pcm1 or pcm2)

then you need to find a unit. opcs quote about 2.5k for a new one. flea bay have them for about £1500 but you need to esure that it is a uk unit and it works!!

then you need to ensure that you have the full set of nav disks for it. they come to a stiff 340 plus VAT from an opc

fitting in reality is the easy bit. on the MOST systems i believe it is pretty much plug and go - there is a turorial on RennTech showing you step by step how to do it.

the only specialist work needed is to re-programme the OBC so that it knows nav is fitted and you can use the phone module from the computer.

as you can see i have looked into this - my conclusion was not to bother - too expensive and too much agro

better to get an after market double din jobbie fitted
