Smikee, Fitted a few of these in last last few months for customers... great bit of kit apart from the price!
Get a few prices and i will see if i can can get any where near trade price for the kit only!! All you'll need then is a resonable car kit fitter.

I have this in my.. Aherm Bm, and it is fantastic. The live traffic info and rerouting is a godsend.

The touch screen is pretty much essential now as the subscription rates have changed. The touch screen allows full postcode entry. Anything other than postcode entry requires call centre contact. These are now limited depending upon your subscription, or pay as you go top up.

Navigation is simple but excellent. Inputing destinations is dead easy. No fuss.

Wipes the floor with the latest Alpine system in my wifes car just so fidly and time consuming to use in comparison.

The traffic info is better aswell stating the type of incidnet holding you up and the expected delay in minutes.

Having someone to shout at the end of the phoneif it it's not doing what you want is also theraputic and cheaper than chucking your TOM TOM out of the window.

Hi, I had the unit installed by a "Car Concepts" based in Aylesbury, it took them about 2 hours to fit and cost
