sat nav

[auldboy58]

hi folks,when I bought my forester xten a couple weeks ago there was no sat nav disc with it,when I asked the dealer about this I WAS TOLD i WOULD GET ONE ON eBay FOR AROUND £30,this has since turned out to be total crap,I phoned my local Subaru dealer they told me it would cost £346 inc vat,I am going to contact the garage where I bought the car to-day,I will post the outcome later on in the morning.

What year is the XTEn?

 

I had a 56 plate one which had an out of date CD so I did buy a new on off eBay for about £30. I've since written off the forester but I pulled the CD out before it was taken away.

Hi,the xten is an 07 plate,which I managed to find out is a core 2 satnav.

still not heard back from the garage I bought the car from,I think there trying to pull a fly one here.

tbh i;d just buy a tom tom

[auldboy58]

yup,looks like tom tom is the answer,now have a sat nav screen which only tells the time,or is there anything else I can use it for,a bit of a bummer this,since I was told by the garage it was working.

remove it and place a touch pad (Nexus 7) in it and now you have the world on your finger tips ;)

 

do a search and you will find people done this

touch pad nexus seven into a forester,I'm not good with electrics,or is it plug and play,advice please.

I like the sound of that, does an ipad Mini or Apple carplay thingy fit in there too?

[Mr B]

lots of things could fit but not exactly plug & play.

inbuilt sat nav is junk on most cars as get old & update hassle is right pain on many.

I prefer buying without sat nav & adding my own.

If was mine I would replace it .

Ye I think I'll try and get a standard dash glovebox compartment and replace it. How easy are they to get out? I read somewhere that you have to take the facia of the centre consol off too.
