Hi,

I have Superb Elegance which came with Sat Nav however I want to upgrade the system as not too impressed with it.

I like the look of :-

Alpine IVA-W200Ri, Navigation, Alpine Double DIN, DVD

Or

Kenwood NV-DX87GA, Kenwood NV-DX69GA, Kenwood Double DIN Navigation

Any comments on which would be best?

I'm not too clued up on ICE so what else would I need to buy?

Ipod interface (would prefer to multi-changer)?

Something to make the steering wheel controls work? Not sure what?

Any other leads (speed pulse)?

Ideally want to buy everything needed then take to get fitted as I can source much cheaper than the shops are quoting.

Any advice appreciated.

Hi,

I spent ages researching sat nav units and all the advice pointed to the Alpine IVA-W200Ri.

This has now been installed as part of an ICE overhaul and I can say that it is by far the best sat-nav I have ever used.

I have have portable ones and factory fitted ones and this wipes the floor, only thing is I would suggest that the install is done professionally as the unit is a very tight squeeze and does require a fair bit of dash demolition.

Also Ipod interface works brilliantly, both with my old Ipod nano 4GB and my new Ipod 30GB video unit.

Lastly you can get a Can-Bus adapter that will do speed pulse and allow the steering wheel controls to work but this unit is
