I've got it's predecessor in my L200.

Excellent piece of kit, cannot fault it in any way. Go for it! Any questions just ask away.

Thanks for quick reply, does the sat nav have traffic & speed cameras pre installed?

[Sixpackpert]

It does have traffic I believe, it seems to re-route so quickly! It doesn't have cameras but I downloaded the database and installed it by CD. All instructions are on the Kenwwod site. Other instructions are on the Garmin site and the Parrot site for the phone bit.

What phone have you got?

ETA: a few clicks on the Kenwood site gives you this http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk/tech/navi/9_7...

Got an Iphone4, looks like text doen't work?

[Sixpackpert]

I have an iPhone 4 as well. It connects with no problem every time BUT for some reason it doesn't always sync the phone book. They may have sorted it on the newer unit?

Hoping to get one fitted at end of the week quite looking forward to it :-)

Booked the car in for Thursday, i'm going for the 7260 as it's cheaper and not a lot different!

[Sixpackpert]

Just checked, mine is the 7240BT so you are getting the newest model of mine. Enjoy.

I went to 2 shops and they told me the 9260 was st as they upgraded the features (HD screen, sat nav, cover flow) and didn't change the processor, this made the interface slow and sluggish! There is going to be a new model in a couple of weeks 9280 which will be around £400 more. I'm happy with what the 7260 does and more important the price!

[neilbauer]

Had it fitted very happy :-)
