Re: Want - GPS/DVD/Radio/stereo that fits. Killjoy!

Kenwood looks good, Dani.

Could I be a slight killjoy and inject a note of caution here?

The position of the stereo/ICE unit in the SVX was designed before Sat Nav. It is too low on the dashboard for safety. If you spend a long time [even in seconds] looking at that screen, you are setting yourself up for a prang-up.

A sat nav screen for the SVX should be up on the dash somewhere, so your eye can be drawn quickly back to the road.

It will be OK if you close the door and listen to instructions, but if you do a lot of map reading while driving in that lower dash position, you will be a danger to yourself and other road users.

The Voice of Reason.
