sat nav build
sat nav build
so where to start,
first off we ripped the 7" housing (which was an ebay bargain) to pieces

then we test fitted the sat nav unit, which was another ebay bargain, but hit a couple of problems straight away
1. although the sat nav was a nice snug fit, the power lead plugged in at the side. and there was no room to plug it in whilst inside the housing
2. the sat nav wouldnt just power up when the ignition was turned on, it had to be manually turned on each time
so to get around these issues we decided what hell just rip the sat nav to bits and have a play with it.
so after a bit of tinkering and wiring we managed to solder in a couple of wires onto the power switch so that when the open and close button is pressed the sat nav will turn on

fitted and checked again![[Image: photo8.jpg]](http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd41/mattlaw86/photo8.jpg)
and whilst the car was in pieces we also fitted my parrot handsfree kit and modified the cigarette lighter socket so that it is now a usb socket for the phone kit

a big thanks to mattlaw for helping with the project
iv had it in the car for a week now, it has speed camera detection, built in flash player so it will play films, and will even broadcast the directionsonto an fm radio station, it will even take a reverse camera although it will need to be stripped down and a usb cable fitted. overall a great bit of kit for not to much cash
