its down to £600 is now if you check out ebay, depends what your after really.
it does everything in one unit so you have no wires etc around the cabin.
Also has full ipod control and i ran the ipod cable into the centre console armrest so leave ipod in there out of sight all the time.
it charges it when in use and has proper ipod control on the screen.
the handsfree part connects by bluetooth automatically to your phone everytime you turn the unit on the mic is small and once you hide the wires out of sight its hardly noticable, Also downloads your phone book and you can access this from the screen and answer/dial from the unit so dont need your phone at hand at all.
The gps receiver can be hidden under the clock unit in the centre so it cant be seen and works perfect.
the sd card slot on the front is great for putting music/videos on. the sat nav seams to work great and never loses signal and is accurate as it also takes a feed from the car speedo so it knows where you are if you briefly lose signal.
also the speed camera part is excellent and you can adjust the warnings on it.

a very good buy if your after all the features the unit has it is expensive but if you consider it has sat nav handsfree etc its not too bad and even plays dvds to keep the kids quiet on a journey if needed.
