New Galaxy 2.0 Tdci Ghia And Sat Nav

[Solo]

Hi

 

I am new to this Forum and this is my first Topic.

I have ordered a New Galaxy 2.0 TDCi Ghia, unfortunatly I couldn't get a built-in DVD navigation system, the dealer said it would be a long wait as they are short of DVD navigation unit....

 

The question are

1. Can I fit a DVD navigation system from the market, which one do you recommend (I have a tomtom in a Ipaq which I use with my current car, I want a built in navigation for my galaxy)

2. This galaxy comes with 6 CD changer, can this be still used if I fit the DVD navigation

3. Recommed any shop I can get this fitted near Crawley in West Sussex

4. Will this void the guarantee

 

Thanks

I can't help you with your question, but I am jealous, as the car sounds superb and I would love one of the new ones !

 

I have a TomTom sat nav unit thats cheap and cheerful and amazingly accurate.

Yes the car looks good, this is my first Ford .... I hope it is good!! ;)

Yes the Tom Tom is good, my current car was broken in but the sat nav was not in the car... so don't mind investing bit more for a built in

Solo .... what you you need to find out is whether your existing system runs off the CAN-BUS or the newer IP-BUS. I know my CD changer runs off the CAN-BUS so that it can interface with the MFD. Ideally, the newer MFD 2 system is what you are after and it would be interesting to see if the newer Galaxy has a similar system, if so, then it might be worth contacting a VW dealer who may be able to provide you with a unit. Sounds to me as though they are pulling a fast one as they are quite difficult to fit. Expensive mind you!

 

I would contact a good ICE dealer and have a chat with them regarding CAN-BUS etc.

 

Hope this helps

Bleeno Thanks, I will look in the manual when the car is delivered. Thanks all for your comments

Did you resolve this ?

 

I suspect you were/are in for any expensive job here and a stand alone unit will be the way to go.

 

By the way, the small side window (in front of the side door) is an ideal place to site a "sucker-mounted" self contained sat-nav - not in the way of vision, but actually easier to see that the built in unit.
