Re: Adding options to a used roc

The dealer I spoke to said it was possible to retro fit the parking sensor that integrates with the head unit but the parts have to be ordered from Germany, it costs around 700 to do.

Adding options to a used roc

Chaps, I have had a bit of a rethink and browsing through Autotrader I might go for a "nearly" new roc but I am quite keen to add my options (Sat Nav/DVD and Parking Sensor) One dealer I spoke to said that both of these could be done as a dealer mod even with the parking sensor that integr...

Re: Standard Audio vs Dynaudio

Re: Standard Audio vs Dynaudio

Ok have now had a chance to listen to the standard system and ... it sounds pretty good !! Granted I had the dealer in there with me so it was difficult to really crank it up but there seemed to be a fair amount of volume there and the quality seemed pretty good during my brief play). What are the s...

Re: Standard Audio vs Dynaudio

Ok chaps I think you have convinced me. To be honest it was always in my spec till i ordered but strangely the dealer that i bought from said that it rarely gets ordered, so i started thinking that perhaps its not necessary. I am popping over to a dealer today to have another listen to the standard ...

Standard Audio vs Dynaudio

Chaps, Ok I have finally placed my order and the only thing I couldnt decide on was Dynaudio. Currently I havent included it in the order (and it would be nice to save the cash) but I wanted to see what people thought of the standard system. My current car has terrible audio and its one of the thing...

Re: Satnav 4 digit post code question

Im happy with that, it doesnt really sound like much of a hassle...

I really want an integrated system as whilst i am a long time Tom Tom user my dash always looks a bit "Heath Robinson" with my PDA holder attached to the windscreen etc :-)

Thanks for the info.

Satnav 4 digit post code question

Hi Guys,

Regarding the 4 digit post code lookup, how does it work? Do you enter the 4 digits then use some other method to get to your exact address?

Presumably you can still use town/street/number type lookup?

I am just trying to understand this as a current Tom Tom user :-)...

Re: Sat Nav/DVD system Whats in it?

I noticed in the demo car that the parking sensor produced a radar type view on the sat nav display when used in conjuction with the sat nav/dvd system.

If you order both do you get that as standard?

Thanks guys, I am currently a Tom Tom fan and use it on my PDA. Can you add your own POI's (I assume you can)? I am a tech consultant so am always going to locations i have never been before but then have to go for a few days on the trot so it would be useful to be able to store my own POI's even PO...

Thanks for this info guys.. I currently have a sony mp3 player which wont give this level of integration but this would certainly lead me to getting an ipod .. that integration is great :-)
