I am toying with the idea of buying a sat nav system for my A2.
I am currently completely stumped as to what option to go for. The choices that I can afford are:
1) Garmin Streetpilot III - this is a standalone system that does not require installation and therefore can be moved from car to car. It has a colour screen and also speaks the instructions to you. The disadvantage of this is that it is highly visible and a potential risk for smash and grab thieves and also means sitting on top of the dash which I think is a bit messy. I am also not sure of reliability with this if it is not installed in the car. Info on this product: http://www.garmin.com/products/spIII/
2) The other option for me is an installed din size unit with a separate cd changer. The options are a a Sony MEX-100NV - this is a very nice unit and even has changeable colours from yellow to black/red display colours to match the A2.

Alternatively, the Blaupunkt TravelPilot DX R-52. More info at: http://www.bluespot.co.uk/stock/dxr52_b.asp
Help!! What should I go for?
Has anyone ever installed sat nav themselves? I am fine at installing stereos etc. My only problem would be locating the pulse input from the speedo - does this have to be done professionally or can you do this yourself?
Thanks,
Stuart.
