mantis147 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Has anyone upgraded their sat Nav at all as I've noticed it's really dated as was setup in 2005. Just after ideas really as replacing the screen for something modern would be good. Cheers Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muzzer Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi, I got !Removed! off with mine too - maps out of date, very slow, kept defaulting to Belgium for some reason. I removed the original display and the DVD drive/box in the glovebox and fitted a Garmin Nuvi 65. It fits nicely with a bit of fetling, used the windscreen suction cup stuck to a bracket I made from a bent piece of aluminium araldited to the top of the original satnav pod. Fitted a cigar lighter in-line plug to the original display's cable and used the original Garmin car charger. It switches on and off with the ignition and works MUCH better than the original. Got a load of space back in my glovebox too :-) HTH Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantis147 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi Steve, funny enough I was looking at sat Navs in Halfords to see if that was a possibility. My ideal is a nexus 7 install but not totally sure how difficult that's going to be. Thanks for sharing anyway! Cheers Lee.

mantis147 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi stants, yes that's the other issue trying to make it look like it's came from the factory with it installed. I'm having a mare trying to sort a Bluetooth obd2 reader too the elm327 one I got won't work and I'm having difficulty finding a compatible one as this will be running through the nexus 7 ideally!

TheRamblingFatMan Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Hi, I spoke to David at satnavdvd.co.uk and got a Core 1 disc for the Forester SG. It arrived in 48 hours and works really well. Doesn't change the rather crummy UI but updates the maps. Great for £34.99 ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
