They use Sat nav systems from Alpine I think.

If you want sat nav and have a spare single DIN socket in the car then the Clarion NSV 613 is a good unit.

If you can do without the top storage bin, then buy the Subaru gauge pod case(Check the part number with your dealer) and that should have room to put A single din Satnav unit in, plus it's in a lot better position than the lower dash mounted systems.

The SAT nav option in Benlux is the Pioneer ANH-P9R, which I got with my MY03. I'm quite glad as the other to options, a Clarion and an Alpine, one looks like a mobile dance club, the other like it was designed in the 80's

If you see John Spicer, he was selling a complete VDO system for the Subaru. He showed me it when he first got it and it looks quite impressive.

The Pioneer looks good, only £850 from the company below. Might even buy one at that price, thought they were all £1500 +

i fitted a vdo system to a forester and thought it was crap, and now so does the owner we think it may have a problem though as it doesn't remember where the car is and gives you directions to late. the best one i've seen is an alpine system with the in dash display.

Thumbs up

I've had a VDO system in my car for 4 years now and never had a problem with it.

Only change i made was to mount the 7" screen into the glasses tray as it looked pants in the centre console below the radio.

alan g- got any pics of your monitor install in the glasses tray ??

I mean either you've got the monitor at a really steep angle in order for the lid to shut and keep out prying eyes or remove the monitor once you've finished ur journey.
