hoffs350z Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Hi, Is anyone currently building / fitting sat nav's for the 2007 models? Currently I have no Sat Nav and think those with, look pretty good. http://www.drivendynamics.com/kieran/z/c4.jpg I know Nurrish was in the process of getting this together, the button pad which would be used for on / off, but can't find anything recent. Anybody out there that can remove the 'lid' and install something for me? Cheers Dave Quote
JetSet Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Have a word with Cookbot, he rigged up a very nice system and I'm pretty sure he had an 06 facelift Pete Quote

I know the sat nav cubbies are like rocking horse waste products and to be honest i think the sat nav would be a nice addition to the centre console before i get it all re trimmed. If anyone is thinking about opening a factory and producing after market sat nav systems for the 07+ i'll stick a 2nd order in. Quote
jell36 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm desperate for one too on an 06 facelift, really want a real satnav and not the birdview rubbish. Looks as though I will have to get a new surroud as well as the cubby too as I've currently got birdview. If anyone is willing to make one for me please let me know. I realise it isn't going to be cheap. Quote
Ebized Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Cookbot's set-up viewtopic.php?f=38&t=49801&hilit=cookbot I suggest you send a pm to him to see if they are still available Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 If all you want is satnav you can fit your own Quote
Hayd350 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 i'd need a sat nav cubby but that would make sense. Is it easy enough to mount a universal screen in the existing cubby? or do you have to be pretty creative. Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Its fairly easy, you need a 7" screen and then just a power supply and a button to turn it in and off. A new cubby is around £120 my navman was £150 A 7" tablet would work just as well but I just wanted a nav Quote
Hayd350 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 ahhh right ok, thought the cubby's were actually more than that. so i could do this for a pretty decent cost then. Dont suppose you know where i can get the cubby from do you. i've got an 07 facelift, with the standard lift up. Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 There is an American site that do them new but it will be expensive I would try the traders on here maybe or look for one 2nd hand. The price of the cubby and difficulty getting them is what puts most people off I think... Quote
Hayd350 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 ok cheers for that, i'm not to offended by the bose system (even though its my third one under warranty) i just dislike the cubby and i'm sick of sticking sat nav to the window. i'll give it more though and see what i can come up with. Nice centre console by the way, looks nice with the carbon. Quote

Cheers, if you do get a cubby and need any help give me a shout Will do cheers, one last thing actually, with regards to the screen itself, if i google sat nav the usual plug and play sat navs come up. is the screen you have designed to be built in or is it a just a standard one that came with a mount. cos i'm assuming for updates you need it to be removable.

The only one I could find was the Navman Panoramic http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_165685_productId_817893_langId_-1?cm_mmc=GooglePPC-_-SN%20-%20Sat%20Nav%20-%20Product-_-Navman%20Panoramic%20Exact-_-navman%20panoramic&source=ppc&_$ja=kw:navman+panoramic|cgn:Navman+Panoramic+Exact|cgid:5156418709|tsid:35582|cn:SN+-+Sat+Nav+-+Product|cid:70628389|lid:42105058429|mt:Exact|nw:search|crid:19621808629 Just had to take it apart, wire up a button to switch it on and off and hard wire it. For updates I can take my laptop down to the car and connect through the trim on the cubby Here is the install thread http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=54590&hilit=motorised+cubby Although when I fitted something else I pulled the wires of the cubby motor so now it is manual Quote
Hayd350 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 nice job. suppose there's a few options i can look at, just interesting to see what others have done. I could always keep the cubby, scrap the bose and get an all singing all dancing double din. Cheers for your help so far. Quote

Now i have to have that "whats on your mind, you've been so distant" chat with the missus again. Quote
