'Newbie' Question No.3 - Becker navigation.

[conaero]

Miles I am pretty sure your unit does not have the Nav system. The easy way to tell is to pull the head unit out and see if you have the gps antenna or just a hole like I had.

Basically the same head unit minus the GPS module :-(

I upgraded to a Becker Gran Prix, much better head unit with Blutooth hands free phone, but still no Nav.

If its any consolation, the GTS Nav is poo too!

I believe Dem, whom I sold the Becker GP to, still has not fitted it as yet, so you might want to make him an offer as you can't buy them anymore.

Thanks Matt. Came to this conclusion too. The satnav disks will shortly be on Fleebay and I've bought a Garmin. Hate sticking stuff on the windscreen, but at least the Garmin works.

not sure if this is any help, has a section on SATNAV Setup / install (seems generic across the range) - http://www.mybecker.com/fileadmin/D...ic_Pro_High_Speed_EuEn_Installation_Guide.pdf

Thanks Enzo. As per my post above the Becker got the better of my attention span, so bought a satnav instead.

FYI Loz and co. The one Loz. mentions is called Smart Nav. its owned by the same co that brought us traffic master. and is linked to their real time data to give you the quickest route and avoid any delays. You pay a yearly subscription or pay as you go. System also has the speed camera points. and warns you to slow down giving a tone until you hit the right speed.
