I know I am in a minority and most people use portable units, but I cant bear them, hate having them stuck to the window, cables, slow to pick up satellite signal etc etc.

I had a Blaupunkt (Rome I think it was) single din nav unit in a Lotus before.

Anyone aware of a half decent single din nav unit still in manufacture?

Not really looking for one of those pop up screen units either, mainly as they tend to be uber expensive and the nav units are another box requiring space...

I like the look of one of these at the moment - your iPhone can be used as the sat nab when required?

Thanks for that. Funny had found this just a few minutes ago. Only issue is it appears to take about 2 minutes to start up, and the nav is just google mapping without turn by turn instructions.

Seems about the only thing about at the moment though!

Find yourself a used Becker.
Thanks, do they still produce maps for them?

Found one on ebay but they are nigh on 300 quid even second hand...

I've got a Pioneer Avic single-din unit which has a flip up screen. It's quite old now but has loads of features, iPod control and other goodies and does work well.
Thanks, good to know. Can you get later Maps/updates?

Doesn't seem there is much about if you want to be able to update it...

Ok, well I managed to snick one of these Becker Indianapolis 7923's for only £60 inc antenna and manuals etc.

It has not arrived yet, but fingers crossed!

I bit the bullet and ordered the latest disks off Amazon (from Germany), and I am still only at £150, so happy with that.

Thanks for the info - good to know.

I'm not sure how the TVR is wired up for Speed Pulse etc.

I have a feeling I may be paying Carl Baker a visit!
