Replacement DVD/GPS Radio, which one?

[Mornes]

Hi guys, im in the market for a replacement radio for my Hilux (Vigo Shape). what i am typically looking for is Garmin's replacement unit that includes the DVD, GPS, handsfree, IPOD etc features. I have however seen many other similar options for a fraction of the price, but not sure if it is jap crap.

can anyone offer advice here?

Garmin make a nice unit, not sure of the Model Number?

[Mornes]

i like the garmin unit to, but it will make a R11k dent in your pocket. some of the replcament units ive seen with the same features go for R3k.

[OOOOMS]

I am aware of that, but you did not mention the price range....sorry....

Yip 11k is a big dent... :roll:

The problem I have with a built in unit is that if the unit has a fault....in goes your van...like these new combo all in one hi-fi's.

Have you looked at the PC Tablet?

Morne, kyk op planetworld en stopshop(google net vir dit), is dit hulle waarna jy verwys?
Die ding met daai modelle is dat hulle nie Garmin software ophet nie, maar jy kan Garmin mobile op hulle laai, maar ek vermoed jy het n ingeneursgraad nodig vir daai werkie.

Agter in die CAR magazine is daar n nuwe eenheid geadverteer, sal kyk of ek kan kry en vir jou info stuur, dink vir so R7000. Jy kry ook nou van die goed wat tyre pressure monitors ingebou het, ek wil so ene vir die Prado kry.

Gaan search op bidorbuy.co.za, daar is goeie modelle vir so R5500

lyk my die ding kan enige iets van R3600 tot R19k kos. die een agter in die SA4x4 sal mens R 19 000 uit die sak jaag. die link hieronder lyk na n baie billike opsie, wens net mens het n verwysing wat iets werd is.

If I had to guess I would say those units will have Horizon Nav installed. Not to shabby but most definitely not Garmin. Morne do yourself a favour and have a look at the table PC Mark is referring to. Value for money and much more versatile than just a GPS. It is a full on PC (tablet). It has a built in GPS receiver and Garmin Mobile PC runs like a charm on the unit. m2cw

Morne, daar het jy dit, kom maak 'n draai by my dan wys ek jou....met koffie

[Mornes]

klink vir my soos n plan, kan ek n whiskey saam bring vir die koffie..

[OOOOMS]

Jammer, maar ek mix nie my drinks nie

Maar jy is meer as welkom, laat weet net wanneer?

Morne, op die Croozer forum is daar manne wat die een van stopshop inhet. Ek kan nie regtig onthou van enige klagtes nie. Die grootste ding is om Garmin Mobile gelaai te kry. Met Garmin software kan jy natuurlik tracks4africa gebruik.
As jy lid is van die Croozer forum, gaan doen n search daar, daar is so 2 of 3 threads wat die goed bespreek word.

As far as I know, the stopshop unit is difficult to load T4A maps on. I got one recently, and will be giving it a test run as soon as I get round to installing it.

So, I did install the stopshop unit I have. I'm battling to get the maps working on it. Seems to be resetting itself, and not reading the SW.UNL file.
Wish I could read chinese :D

Have to say though, the support from Stop Shop has been pretty good.

Mobile accoustics.. Hul is by die winkelsentrum op die hoek van Ontdekkers & C.R. Swart .
Mark sal jou ook kan wys waar die plek is. hul het 3 units daar wat 100% pas inni Vigo, wissel tussen R3200-R4000.
Goeie kwaliteit en diens.
