chrisgunton Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hello again, I'm buying my first Zed on Thurs I'm just curious what HU the car will have. It's a 2004 UK GT spec, with a Bose system and satnav. Are there any details about which satnav the system will be running? Is it a standard fit or aftermarket?

Sarnie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Err, you've answered your own question. If it's an unmodified UK GT it will have a Bose HU. I'm not sure how we are supposed to know if the Sat Nav is aftermarket or not without seeing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisgunton Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 What I'm trying to get at is if the satnav is standard or aftermarket. Was there a standard uk one? Going to look at it tonight - will get pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 optional extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I think what you mean is did the UK spec have sat nav as an optional extra.........it did - so it could be either standard or after market. Piccies will help us to identify it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 The Nissan Birdview **** nav will haave Nissan across the screen when you turn the ignition, an aftermarket one will not. Plus the controls will beat the bottom of the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgunton Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yup thats what I'm trying to figure out. The seller hasn't mentioned that it is after Market so I assume it's the birdview one. Will see it soon enough. Is the birdview one good?

chrisgunton Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Ah i see! Well I will always have TomTom on my iPhone as backup. What are the issues with it? There isn't much (that I can find) online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 its not touch screen, you cant do postcode entry, it takes you up some weird and wonderful back roads, and is generally a pain to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 .........and if it is then it might be worth finding out if the current owner is/was a member on her........you can have search through his posts and see if the car has anything nasty in its history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Is that a good thing? A lot better than the standard Nissan one. It's touch screen and postcode friendly and you can hide it when you park up There's a lot more to it than that of course Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 OMG I can't believe someone listed a car with snow on it!!! I also think that your all wrong it looks like the pre MY06 sat nav to me....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesc Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Those are some great pictures, snow all over it I thought it looked like the older style OEM sat nav, could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgunton Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm viewing the car tomorrow so I'm not worried about pics. it's being cleaned and stored in a hanger for me to look at. It's fully kitted out, mint, GT spec UK car. Exactly what I've been looking for. The owner doesn't appear to have been on here - but is on Pistonheads due to his Noble. Nothing untoward in his post history there. I can't see any buttons on the pic, so lets hope it's something better than the standard one mentioned earlier. Viewing tomorrow - almost certainly putting down a deposit and then collecting on Jan 3rd. Very excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Why are you so certain that this car is 'mint'? He couldn't even be bothered to clear the snow off the car for the listing pictures.... And what is 'fully kitted out'? Looks pretty standard to me apart from the refurbed standard rims. Just don't get blinded by buyers enthusiasm.....
