auldboy58 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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.

demondriverdave Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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 I had a 56 plate one which had an out of date CD so I did buy a new on off eBay for about £30.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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auldboy58 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 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.

theador Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I like the sound of that, does an ipad Mini or Apple carplay thingy fit in there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 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 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theador Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
