Sat Nav Replacements

[korma007]

anyone reccommend a company that retrofits sat nav units into the place of the PCM II unit? Or indeed anyone know a unit that you can recommend? It needs to have a colour screen and also bluetooth etc..... Ideally want a straight replacement for PCM II.

thanks

Thanks to all the views on here, I'm getting a Kenwood DNX7200 fitted to a 02 911 c2 - it will go where the PCM2 fits. Optional ectras include Ipod unit, Bluetooth connectivity and TMS. It runs Garmin satnav software. Garmin's motorbike unit allows you to plot routes on the PC and then download them to the unit - If this one does the same it will be a bonus. I'm using a ICE company recommended by an OPC (see sat nav issue). I'm picking it up on 27/8 - pictures on here the next day - or deafening silence as I wait to get the old radio put back....

thanks nipper. I would be really interested to se the photos. Did they not say that replacing the PCM unit interferes with the computer that controls the car (or something like that)?

Hi, I had a Kenwood DNX7200 fitted to my C4S a couple of weeks ago. Definitely a good piece of equipment. Opted for the IPod link but not the bluetooth. I do have pics but have not uploaded them yet - I can try and work out how to do this if you wish?

hi andy - if it is not too much of a pain i would love to see the photos... no probs with engine management since the installation then?

Hi Korma

My car does'nt have a PCM2 fitted and it is a pre can bus? model so I hope the computer will be unaffected..

Hi my car didn't have PCM fitted only an OEM CDR22 (pre MOST). So no problems with engine management etc. However I have heard of others having the DNX7200 or AVIC systems fitted to post MOST cars without any issues?

Does anyone know if a PCM II unit is a direct replacement for PCM I? i.e. will it plug straight in?

Thanks

IIRC it's not - PCM2 needs the fibre-optic MOST bus.
