General boot light
yeah i was a bit peed off about not having vanity mirror lights thats you'r next job 
,
on another note can the dash top port for the sat nav be retro fitted?
my local dealer is offering the b&m sat nav for £199 fitted inc vat it implies on the sales leaflet that they also fit the port i'll ring tomorow and ask. i asume the port is just a prety simple power supply as the unit will have its own antenna and uses bluetooth for the b&m connection

I think I read in another thread (I hope I am wrong) that if there is no port there the satellite navigation unit is fitted the same as other stand alone units with either a dash mount or more likely a screen mount. If so this means you will have to use the cigarette lighter socket for your power supply.
If you pm Omad I am sure he will be able to clarify this for you.

Folks, how bizarre is this ?
I have been following this thread with interest, thinking I will have to get my finger out and fit a boot light.
Opened my boot today and I have got one... yet my 500 is a Sport. Thought it was omitted on the Sport ?

I assume then that its illumination is so great that those who already have it don't even notice!I'll have to make sure I fit one to mine, just so I can not even notice its there

I am now going to replace the bulb in mine with a 55w H7 halogen bulb.
Alternatively, specsavers are doing two for one ........

just spoke to my local dealer parts dep and they recon there is a kit for the dash top satnav port @£205.
I dont think you can retro fit the port, basically I believe that if you car has the port as factory fit there is a sat nav unit to fix to it, otherwise the sat nav requires a windscreen suction holder thingy.

I guess that answers that question then, makes it a lot of money for what I have heard described as a pretty average sat nav.
yeah i won't be buying one, you usually find some nice places when you are lost anyway
Was looking at buying one of these as I still havent spent my fiat vouchers yet, but also thought it was alot of money for a sat nav, can anyone tell me whether it is worth the money or should I go for a cheaper Tomtom or garmin etc??
Something like this may be an option, it will plug in to replace the bulb

from the short demo i got i thought it was like any other satnav but with the benifit of connecting to the 500 via blu&me so you can use the voice controlls via the steering wheel and its also touchscreen and the directions are spoke to you through the cars sound system, so compared to other units it does do quite a bit the other thing i liked it can play music and video aswell,
Just prepared my boot hole ready for its new lamp c/o Chris@souls realy easy to do took out the screw pulled back the carpet and there it was taped up with some masking tape. easy peasy

All done for less than £15 judge for you'r selfs but bear in mind there is a street lamp right behind me i can confirm the switch is built in to the latch so the light goes on &off when the lid is open or shut.

bloody hell you soon fitted that!
Just a quick thank you to Grimwau (Tony) for the great right up.
Fitted the lamp in 4-5 mins thanks mostly to his pics and clear instructions.

his guide was top class
I recieved mine in the post today and fitted it in 10mins when i got home from work. The wiring is taped to the wiring loom as described in the fitting intructions (earlier in this thread).
Very simple job

I was surprised how easy and quick it was to fit, when I did mine.It makes such a difference being able to see into your boot when it's dark.
