Satnav Buying Honda Civic Navi aftermarket

StraV · 17th October 2007, 03:25

When I purchased my Type S 1.8 last month, I really wanted one with Navi. But, when told I would have to wait an extreme amount of time, i decided to settle on a car without Navi.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the Honda OEM Navi aftermarket? Is too dificult to install?

I've done some searching and don't see it offered anywhere.

Thanks!

Have read somewhere in this forum that it is rather (very) difficult.
It is advisable to go for aftermarket navi, eg TomTom.

It can be done - Double Din facia with aftermarket head unit and navi - fitted with pictures

If you don't go for the double-din option (but a portable unit instead) then you might want to check out the next issue of Auto Express as they'll be testing 100 different units and rating them accordingly. May be worth a look!

Don't worry the factory fit sat nav is over priced and over rated as there are many features not available ie being able to upload speed cameras etc.

Although nothing is impossible, it would probably be cheaper to sell your car and buy another one with the built in sat-nav.

So, if you don´t have the factory sat-nav - go for an aftermarket solution.

Having said that - I am very happy with my factory version.

I appreciated the option of a portable GPS, but they are very small and uncomfortable, there are ways to mount them, connect them to power, and so on. The option of double din I am not angry, but in my street there are many thieves and I would take very little installed, which is why I am suggesting to install the factory, but I leave more expensive than a double din.

Thanks

The double din head unit has to be mounted into a steel caddy that is supported by the bulkhead onto the firewall - if a local thief has the skills to remove it in under an hour, they deserve it!

Are you sure it isn't better to sell the car and buy one with satnav?

Not if you want DVD, Video CD, a scalable audio solution, DAB, Video iPod and MP3 input via USB, and a touchscreen SatNav with TMC to blow Honda's rather average offering out of the water, no.
