General How much and Where for a CN+ Connect Nav?

[ICOD]

Any idea guys as to how much i should expect to pay for the CN+ and also, WHERE the frikkin heck i would find one. I know there is one in the classified's BUT that is an offers type auction so i dont know what sort of offer to make and even what others are offering! Arghhhh


I havent seen them on ebay since ive been lookin for one. :bang:


Im fed up with my RAC nav, its super stupid, i think ive got the worlds first dislexyic sat nav!


Thanks guys

It is quite a bit of work to fit one (see the guides section) and they are not very good. Expect to pay around £250 + £100 for the extra bits you need.

Get a high end tom tom or similar for the same money. They are much better than the CN+ which was designed in 2001. Sat nav's have moved on a bit since then.

If your talking about the one adamcot is offering its not an offer type auction. Hes just looking for a sensible price that someone on the forum wants to pay for it. He is just looking to sell it! Give him a pm or email!! He doesnt bite

Im not scared of the fittin John55, i own my own Car audio business. (AutoPimpUK) and fitting this unit would be VERY easy compared to some or the after market things i have fitted before (mentioning no names *audi a4* cough*)

Cant stand tom tom type sat navs, they are horrible, i had a 9 yr old motorised screen type alpine sat nav in my previous vehicle, that was better than ANY tom tom i have used since. It was faster, more accurate and above all, never told me to do a U turn on the motorway. (Thanks TomTom) Which is why i bought the RAC version BUT thats even slower!

In my fitting and using experience, built in units tend to be more accurate, faster and definatley more reliable but i am not sayin that is a fact, i am saying in my 7yrs fitting experience that has been the case.


AND AND AND i hear fiat have released a 2008 map for it! WOOHOO:slayer:

Ok, the CN+ is crap! I now have a Garmin unit, and it runs circles around the built in unit... which is sooooo slow, takes an age to do anything, and has crap-looking display

A 2008 map? That is old news mate - been on my FTP server for ages

Ok, that maybe old news mate but only if you have the system. LOL

I wouldnt know that if i dont have it. and it seems that its just as hard to get hold of a cd player for the stilo as it is the CN+ (i've only got tape)

Does the CN play DVD's or mp3?
Does anyone have full stats please? I think i might buy another alpine unit:yum:

The CN+ does not play DVDs. It will play mp3 files on CD-R but not CD-RW.

You need to remove the map disc to play a music CD. You can program a route before removing the map CD but then it will only remember the route and nearby deviations from that route.

I have a PDF copy of the CN+ manual but it's over 5MB and too big for my e-mail to send you.

Its ok cheers dave, the whole matter of it running off the cd "live" has really put me off more than anything! '

THANKS, you just saved me i think.

That's the reason people get the CD changer to go with it. You can then leave the map disc in the CN+ and play music CDs from the changer.

Cheers dave, i thought that was the case but then i'd have to buy the changer, i can set myself up with a sat nav motorised screen head unit and DVD changer for less than the CN+ will cost me

Thanks to all on here, your all gods:slayer: Keep up the awesome super fantastic work.
