Is there a way to turn on the GPS on my 8.4" monitor without giving the dealership $600???
Mfr installed GPSs have been overpriced from The Beginning. Not only are they overpriced from The Beginning, but they also want most of a leg to update it to Today.
While I do find a vehicle integrated Nav System generally superior in funtionality, smartphone apps are generally way more intuitive, accurate and (most importantly) up-to-date. AND THEY DO NOT COST ANYTHI?nG EXTRA!!! (other than. perhaps, a convenient way to view them on a solo trip, or - for the dino - the cost to join the 21st century).
I know one Ramforum member has developed and produced at holder that fits in a stock center console, but I am a Big Fan of Scosche magnetic mounts. I have a semi-permanent mount in my truck, and a "vent" mound that I take when traveling to use on rentals. Works great. No additional cost, current maps, the only thing you might be giving up is screen size. But I would rather have a smaller, accurate, FREE picture than a LARGE USED-TO-BE-RIGHT one...
