07 V8V Satnav Garmin upgrade

[bobcanada]

Has anyone upgraded the stock Aston satnav to an aftermarket Garmin unit?

A few people have put a free-standing Garmin unit in front of the old system and used that. It's quick, cheap and easy. You just have to remember to take it out before the hatch tries to close.

Otherwise it looks monstrously difficult and expensive to retrofit Garmin to an earlier car

I can't find the thread, but somebody did retrofit a new satnav (can't remember if it was a gamin one?) into the casing of the original one, complete with power etc.

The thread came complete with pictures and everything, but I can't find it - anyone else had any luck??

I can't seem to find a 7" iGo Primo anywhere on North American websites....eBay, etc.

Any ideas or do I have to go down under to New Zealand?
