Title: double- din gps stereo
Post by: player.777 on 16 April 2009, 23:34

has anyone got a double-din gps radio/stereo in a mark 4?  which one and how much?  was it a simple fit, or was a face plate replacement needed??

Cheers Rich, I thought Rhyso would be the one telling me about his Pioneer, not you!! LOL.
I'm thinking more about a 6-7inch screen unit, whether it be touchscreen or not.

Yes this is the thing I'm looking for.  I already have a tomtom so don't really need a gps in the stereo as well I suppose coz they're a lot more money with that included- could just go for the dvd combo.  cheers will start looking around for one
