samtwilliams Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi All, New year so hello to everyone, Seen many posts/discussions regarding after market sat navs but nothing conclusive, I'm look at this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DVD-Player-GPS-Navigation-System-for-FORD-Mondeo-FOCUS-C-MAX-S-MAX-KUGA-GALAXY-/230888938022?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item35c20d9a26 What does everyone think has anyone got one? or suggest better for similar price? (I have a 10 plate mondeo) Answers on a postcard :) Thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Looks alright, but the screen loaded screwey and I couldn't see what the page was meant to look like, but the product looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It looks decent, though I'm always sceptical of after-market stuff that promises everything for less than the sum of it's parts by far :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It runs on windows CE so don't expect it to be very slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtwilliams Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yer I did think that, has anyone had/got one of these or suggest a better alternative? I have t got hundreds to spend though :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 if you dont have hundreds, I would suggest that if you dont trust the likes of that with WIndows CE, you buy yourself a reasonable tablet, and put any DVD's etc onto a USB PEN and play them through that, if you get one with GPS, you can run something like NAV FREE to be your sat nav... If I get bored, I just stick a couple of credit card's or loyalty cards in the slot between the stereo and the housing, and sit the nexus on that resting against the stereo. If I want music, I bluetooth it over to the car Speakers, I then have a 7" sat nav, with Media Player, Games Player and Internet access tethered to my phones WiFi... Easy.... I got my tablet free with a contract phone, so I didnt pay a peny for it, but you can pick one up (Nexus 7) reasonably cheaply (mate got one for £80 after a load of deals) or you can get them online for between £100 - £150 for the 16GB variant.

Stoney871 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I have a Galaxy Tab II which plays videos very nicely, with the sound pushed through the aux connection and the stereo Speakers it's nice to while away lay-by stops and stand-by's between shouts. I prop it up on the dash with one of these- http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a7bf4cdc4 Obviously it's not used or mounted while moving but I have also got sat-nav software on it so i have that option (although the screen at 7" is a bit big really) Edited February 15, 2013 by Stoney871 Wrong web link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 You prop it up with fuses do you Clive? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Although a large screen, you could get a mount for it and use it, its quite handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ah, darn it, wrong link :( Try this instead- http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a7bf4cdc4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
