Added Sat Nav To My Is200se

[idmax]

Just been to central London (Sloane Street), This system got me around the conjestion charge. It has an option to avoid toll roads. I did not realize it had this feature, well chuffed!!

Has anyone heard of Tom Tom Go

It only costs £410 and it’s Fantastic and it’s probably just as good as the ones that cost £1000.

Problem with those is they do not connect to the vehicle speed sensor they rely on the GPS signal. When you ose the signal the system thinks you are stationary. This can cause some problems such as missed exits.

Anyone know where I can obtain the Lexus sat nav housing for a reasonable price? I dont want it motorized for now just the basic parts needed to fit on the dash and be able to use it manually. Thanks

I have been looking into the tomtom go quite a bit, as well as other options. The Go has something called assisted navigation, meaning it theoretically keeps track of where you are even if you lose signal/go into a tunnel etc. I hear it actually works quite well. My sport doesn't have satnav, and I'm a bit annoyed about it too (like a lot of other lexus peeps out there I see) and I reckon that the Go is a good solution, as you can attach it in the space where the motorised monitor normally goes (and it can be removed when you leave the car) .

I had a 2004 satnav is200 for a few days, and I used the tomtom go, and I honestly have to say the Go was much better! The screen update is faster, it has 3d mapping, and is generally really easy to use. There is also a Navman icn510, which u can pick up for about 430 quid, which also looks quite nice, and would fit in well in the space us non-satnav owners have (which obviously needs filling!). If anyone else has any opinions on the tomtom go I would be interested in hearing about em!

I was thinking of getting a decent hands-free fitted for my Nokia 6600 and then getting the Route 66 or Tom Tom software for it. Anyone had any direct experience?

Excellent, I might have to invest in one...

Aido > Which one have you got?

ScarFace >Thanks for the recommendation, I'll ask around for fitting prices, does it do the fancy radio mute et al

I have just changed my setup again, it is in a lexus sat nav housing, fully motorized, not very hard to do if you can find the screws and bits required. WIll post some photos soon.
