In Topic: New Dvd Sat Nav Unit

Are you saying the unit buttons don't light up when your headlamps are on? I'm assuming they should light red?

To anyone who has fitted one of these, how does yours power up? I have one that looks the same as the ones shown but not purchased from the same place, and it will only power up with the ignition at position 2 i.e all dash lights illuminated. Are yours the same or is there a way around this? Ideally i would like it to power on at position 1 or even without the key in (as the original did).

Sorry for the thread hijack. :ph34r:


Hey Sinister,

Mine only powers up as you describe.

I know what you mean, I kinda liked the old factory sony unit features where you could power on without key in ignition and it would light up when you buzzed the key fob.

Not sure if there is anyway around this, maybe a wiring issue which is a bit beyond my scope.

I am happy I bought this unit though and to be honest its worth this small sacrifice for all the other features that come with this unit and it looks the nuts in my focus without blowing my own trumpet lol :-)

Hey guys yer they are very quick to ship as they have a dealer located in uk.
The freeview is ok till get into built up area because of the high building. I got booster with pack so I can't comment on strength sorry.

Gregg have been down motorway with satnav yet I Luv the way it shows you which lane you need to be in lol am not to fussed about red mini as I like it on the overhead view. You buying a reverse camera yet??


Hey liam, no not yet, only local roads, that sounds good will have to have trip around the 25 then!,
I'm impressed with the unit so far and the fact that it looks factory fitted. Not sure about the camera yet will maybe look into it, does the focus canbus send a signal when reverse gear is selected as the screen goes blank on mine when reversing.

bought this yesterday morning how long does it usually take to arrive?


I bought mine on the 5th Feb, they shipped it on the 6th and I received it on 11th feb.

Its a very good unit, pleased with it so far.

The sat nav is very good, little complicated to begin with and I am still trying to suss out how to change the car cursor (its set as a red mini cooper at the minute which is not good when driving a black focus...lol) but all in all a good bit of kit.

Its nice to have an ipod charging with direct control from my head unit at long last. Also has bluetooth music streaming.

Did you go for the camera as well?

If you need any help with fitting etc (as the install instructions are a little brief and not perfect english) give us a shout as I installed mine at the weekend.
