can u retro install touch screen satnav?


Recommended Posts

Short answer, yes.

but do yourself a favour, buy a decent branded one, not one of the "does it all dead cheap" peices of poo. They fail, and often are difficult to use.

Go Kenwood, or Pioneer for example. Will cost a bit but won't fail anywhere near as soon. PM me if you want options and prices, but i may not be the cheapest around.

This is single din

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item35ae8bb0a0

And this is double din

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5198cf0007

But as stated go for a dearer make rather than the cheap ones

The gen 4 can take a single or double din if you take out the blanking plate under the stereo .

That's if yours is the same as the uk gen4 with a plate of corse :D

I hav a blank plate under my stereo - yippee double din!

But the stereo+blank plate is sooooo low down

i hav a feeling a slot in/out touch screen will just hit my

auto gear stick and hence will not work :-(

Yes was talking to Ady the other day about that on the phone .

Being a carpenter i think i could easly do a boot build for a sub and amp .

Well there aint no rear speakers in mine .

But duz have the cutouts in the metal just not cut out in the shelf covering it :D

Wow - does make a whole world of a difference if u have 4 speakers and rear ones too for the bass.

If u are upgrading why not go for the full monty with tweeters as well + 8speaker Bose sound system.....though having said that not sure u can hear your sweet little engine anymore.....
