I'm looking to achieve a few things. These include:

Add Sat Nav (with European maps)
Upgrade my head unit
Add iPod integration
Have Bluetooth hands free functionality
Have camera locations in my sat nav (and these be updateable)

The only product I've found that seems to do all this is the Becker Indianapolis Pro, but it's not cheap at £599. Does anyone have any experience of this? I can't find any reviews of it anywhere. Is sat nav in the head unit easy enough to use? And does anyone know if I can update the speed camera locations?

I don't want all the clutter of having separate devices, so one that does everything (and that is in the dash) is very appealing. Are there any other similar products I should be looking at?

I got a Becker 7822 Hi Speed pro off ebay and I am very happy with it. I got a dension Ipod interface, and the ipod sits in the glovebox, the radio /satnav sits in its slot, no wires, cradles. The radio is great, the sat nav works well but not perfect unless you are lost. The buttons and set up are fiddly but I imagine they all are if you want it to do everything.
The blaupunkt radio is better IMHO, but with Blaupunkt you have to buy discs for each country in europe just about at £100 each. Beckers come with Europe discs, no more expensive if you need them.
Great bit of kit
