It cannot be done cheaply ! It is a major mission to retroft the factory stuff. These is an aftermarket plug and play Chinese set up that looks factoryish but it is still plenty of dollarz. Buy a Tom Tom etc

I think Daz wants it to impress the laydeez in his E46 executive chariot rather than find his way home after a night of drunken barebacking :)

Mine wouldn't do either, but it might be a good excuse for getting lost in a wooded area from which things could take a natural course.

pmsl pete :D

ok not a good idea then furry muff scrap that plan its a nasty sucker on my windscreen then so be it :D

the good news is, in about 6 months i'm likely to be ripping the engine and lpg kit out of this 46 to chuck into an e30 winkeye well thats the plan anyway

just need to find somewhere to store another car first and somewhere dry and warm to do the conversion

living in watford now so dont have the driveway or mass of parking i used to have up north :cry:
