You can pay an 8th of the price and get a device that can be moved from vehicle to vehicle that has many more features.That only good thing is that it's integrated in the 7" screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sell both so we don't mind, but alot of people are aware of the increase in Portable Sat Nav theft lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is alot of money.. i have a portable Navman S80 unit, but dont like the marks it leaves on the windscreen and it is a bit of a pain in the butt to remove everytime you park somewhere.. $2000 is alot of money though.. is it $2000 still if you get it fitted by the dealer later on?

Go FG technology, lol. Cutting edge stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
