glastoveteran Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not sure what the dimensions of the cubby are (haven't got the zed yet!) but wondering if a TomTom XL v2 (118 x 83 x 25 mm) would fit? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Should do, but have always thought the New Sony ones would fit nice and tight ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 They do fit, but not easily. Without the power lead it's fine, but with it in, and because it's located at the bottom of the unit, you need to remove the rubber mat and kind of wedge the whole thing in at a jaunty angle so it stays put, and so you can actually see it. It'll bend the crap out of the power connector itself, but the socket remains safe so that's the main thing. Over the winter I'll be taking my centre console apart and routing the cable through that, which should eliminate any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Have you seen Lomoto's set-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glastoveteran Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Cheers Ekona - useful to know. Yeah lomoto's looks pretty cool but I really want the 4.3" widescreen version so it was just whether there is enough width to support that.

N15MNO-Daron Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Can someone post a photo or two up of an aftermarket sat nav that fills the cubby 100%...im also waiting to change the nasty jap screen in the cubby with something useful..

N15MNO-Daron Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Have you seen Lomoto's set-up Interesting but prefer sat nav that completely fills the cubby area... i want it to look like a nissan standard fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 So does that mean it's actually the height that's more of a problem than the width? Only with the power lead attached, yes. There's tons of width either side, easy a good 15mm I reckon. Without the power connected and with the rubber mat in, it's a lovely fit height-wise. Just a shame the XL's have such a p*ss-poor battery life compared with my old 520 I used to be able to run that, with a full charge, from Braintree to Colchester to Welwyn to Nottingham to Welwyn and back to Braintree again. Awesome little thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I put a hole in the bottom of mine for the power lead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Is the One the same height as the XL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 the XL does fit in but very well but as everyone has said when the power lead is connected it doesnt unless you just jam it in. i too will be taking out the centre console and routing a 12v lead through. then it should look really neat.

p1tse Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Have you seen Lomoto's set-up what's the electronic thing on the right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma'z'y Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 as everyone says tom tom one xl fits nicely without the power connection, i put mine in there sometimes but theres always a chance it'll pop out if you accelerate hard or throw the zed around a bit, you could always put some velcro along the back of the tomtom to make sure it stays in the cubby then you can still take it out for charging. Im going to put an lcd in my cubby now so itll have to live on the windscreen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyj Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Just hard wired the new widescreen Navman into mine Fits just fine Sats That looks spot on. Which model Navman have you got? I think I've used a Navman at work, the power leads runs from one side, how have you got around this (if on your model Navman the lead runs from one side)? Even when it's hardwired, I'm assuming you still need a plug coming out one side..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick43 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 please tell me:- 1. easiest route, connection etc to hard wire, & 2. are you doing anything to increase signal strength ? (when I place TomTom in cubby I often lose signal). thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
