Re: GPS input
Forgive me for asking this question. why need to find the speedo cable?sorry this question don't mean any offence,most of GPS these days are in real time and don't need assistance from speedometer.I installed on my exy a double din radio with GPS in built. all I did is connect
power ,speakers and the GPS antenna,and also the reverse camera.I have a tomtom 910 prior to this one (route 66)stuck it to my windscreen, just to make sure the speedo is the same with my tomtom and speedo on my exy( 2km difference),and yes they are all the same.I can only think that the unit you guys preferred is one that have to connect to the speedo cable is that correct.

Re: GPS input
Thanks for that info Mark, these day with so much GPS"s in the market a few decent unit I know of have SIRF STAR III chip set included. Of course not my bussiness if you want to install one of those units that need connection to speedo,I am only saying that you have the same technology,less time and effort and most likely the same amount you will spend buying the unit with chipset .just my 2 cent.

Re: GPS input
That is why it is still a good idea to have the old and trusty street directory with you in Sydney LOL

Re: GPS input
I am not much of interest when it comes to going in to tunnels as we don't have very long tunnels here like in Europe,I am after GPS that don't go beserk in capital cities like Sydney, Melb.etc. as we are aware of that they lost signals on around high rises,forest especially when we are 4 wheel driving( I use breadcrumbs) .Inside tunnels, then I will rely on my car speedo then for a short while until I reach the other end and most likely exits are signposted .SIRF STAR III eliminate this problem.
