You could always retrofit the satnav as I have done

To say it is easy may be a bit of an understatement but to be honest the hardest bit is getting the parts. In particular the connectors. I have no electrical experience and would not consider myself to be particular competent at DIY as my good lady wife would agree. I know of another member who is also retrofitting the satnav in his car and others have contacted me to ask for advice. It is well worth the effort and there is a cost saving to be had. My GS (Ipanema sand) is of a similar spec to the one here but also has the panoramic sunroof. The only bit I am missing is the leather seats which to be honest I am not too fussed about. I have retrofitted the Gvif interface and rear camera so have everything I need. Great support from Ian at hids4you. I have everything I need on my GS including satnav. I have also managed to activate timed climate, 4x4 info, voice and I have the logic 7 amp (extra speakers). So it’s not just about the navigation software you get when you are prepared to have a go. What is the difference in price between a XS and GS £5/6000 never mind adding the extras such as timed climate. Also could not have done it without the MSV2. What a fantastic bit of kit that is.

Interesting spec but missing one key thing for me: cruise control. As I do some pretty long runs I find it invaluable and having had it on every car I have owned for the last 20 years I'd miss it.

Nice car - just a bit too white and bling for me!
Can I order a new MY12 grey one, 19" wheels, no side tubes, to collect once your service manager's done his next 9,000 miles or so?

Just a quick note to let you know that this vehicle has now been sold. Thank you for the many enquiries that we received, especially since the price reduction.
Apologies to the forum member (you know who you are ) who enquiried literally 30 mins after it was sold.
I will keep an eye out for something similar for you.
