Sat Nav Fitting instructions

[The Wheel Man]

Sorry i know this must have been covered 100 times but i have been searching for some fitting instructions for the MFD2 system and cant find them. :embarassed:

I have a feeling someone has done a step by step guide but either im imagineing (cant spell) it or im looking in the wrong place.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

take to the dealers, it cost me £40 to have my mfd2 with gps retro fitted. hardly worth messing around yourself doing it.

Wow thats a good price... I was quoted £100 +VAT by a company selling the sat navs on ebay to get it fitted by them.

Were the dealers happy for you to supply the sat nav?

When I installed mine, I just bunged the aerial in the dash, but then it depends if you want the shark fin on the roof!?

+1 on putting the sensor under the dash, I fitted my ebay sourced OEM unit at the weekend and put it in a small space to the top left of the unit, I used a sticky pad to prevent it moving).

I found the whole thing easier to install than expected, but do make sure you have a good trim removal tool. Also put a cloth on top of the dash to prevent scratches when you move the top vent housing.
