Ps im an idiot, on closer inspection the box in my sat nav cupboard turned out to be a box for my hands free phone! If like me your not interested in the satnav and just want the screen to operate your phone, stereo and climate its a much cheaper and easier install....apparently. I understand you just need to buy a modification to your existing wiring loom. Does anybody know of a site where these looms can be purchased or a site with details of how the loom needs to be modified so i can get one made?
I also found a handy site worth looking at for anyone else attempting this upgrade. If you type " x type sat nav retro fit " into google the first one on the list should be called " untitled document " and this is a step by step guide with pictures . Just out of interest riz, did you have to upgrade the wiring loom of could you just plug it straight in? ps i dont really need the sat nav but i really want digital climate and digital stereo and the jaguar screen saver gives the whole dash a more modern look. Thanks once again
Thanks for the info, im not giving up easily. I'm going to call round a few friends that are electronic geeks and see if one of them will accept the job as a challenge! Ps it has got the satnav in the boot. Is that a standard fit on all 2.2 sports then even without the touch screen in the dash? Cheers
Ive just purchased a rather cheeky looking 2005 2.2 diesel sport and my only disappointment is that it hasn't got the touch screen sat nav fitted. I have the little, erm, sat nav cupboard in the boot with a little silver box that I presume is something to do with a sat nav system. If I buy the sat nav screen for my dash board will all the connecting blocks already be in place or will it be a nightmare of a job. Any help on this matter will be very much appreciated. I'll be totally honest I hardly use sat nav but I just think the dash board looks so much better with it in! Boys n toys!!!!
