Aftermarket GPS - Garmin

[alexpook]

Had one of these installed in my WM Statesman.

Just wanted to say I am very pleased, unlike the factory version it does not use up any space in the glove box and map upgrades are apparently about $80.

Uses the existing screen in the dashboard, comes with a remote, but it can be fully controlled from the dashboard. Perhaps the only downside is that navigation info does not appear in the centre instrument display next to the speedo (unlike the factory version).

Got it from No Limit Electronics in Melbourne.

I have had the same install in my SSV and very happy with it, $1150 installed I think.

Don't know the break down pricing - I also had a USB media player installed at the same time - total cost was $2100.

Media player allows movies and music to be played from USB via menus on the screen from steering wheel controls or separate remote.

The stock screen supplied by Holden is not a touch screen. So same as the factory GPS in that regard.

Can use the knobs on the dash or the supplied IR remote, it does also use the radio buttons along the bottom of the screen for some of the menu options.

I don't know what antenna they fitted but it still works in my garage under a tin roof. That's Impressive. Not that I need to navigate out of my garage.

You are still a lot better off than with the factory GPS.
