SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This unique security fitted satnav project originally created for the 200 back in 2008, and now installed into the MG since 2010 was designed to be concealed within the vehicles centre air vent, out of sight, and activated from a dashboard located one touch power button. Garmin nuvi 200 was used for this project after being mounted onto a self designed multi-directional alloy support bracket.
The secure location of this fitting, does not need to be removed, a soft backed screen cover that mimics left air vent can be applied when not in use or during short term stops, a more secure option than actually being attached to the windscreen.
The drivers line of view was achieved with using precise adjustments to enable a correct angle of full screen viewing, navigation options, and all touch screen. operations Advantages other than security, is screen being shaded away from low winter sun driving conditions, fitting of the original, and now modified air vent is removable for memory card access, and also to rear of the centre console switches.
Easy access and convenient location, of the power switch for the satellite navigation system. Now shown alongside dual dashcam switch added in later years when transferred into the 2004 ZR .
When the centre air vent is inserted back into the vent opening during memory card access etc, left air vent will go directly back into vehicles heating duct system to continue providing air, while the right vent opening fits against the screen surround for a neat and professional finish.
When not in use, the unit remains un-detectable from inside of the vehicle, and more importantly from the outside, all wiring being concealed in the dashboard, and with no signs of cradle suction marks being evident on any part of the windscreen.
Created for the 1996 Rover 200 Project Design and Installation (c) 2008.
