Anyone have a SONY XNV-L66BT?


Recommended Posts

Having had a bluetooth streaming headunit and a satnav (seperate units) in my last car (before they were nicked) I have been looking for something to replace the standard BOSE head unit.

 

Has anyone got one of these? http://www.sony.co.uk/product/in-car-navigation/xnv-l66bt

 

Looks like Halfrauds are selling them for £999 but you can get them for £700 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SONY-XNV-L66BT-Car-DVD-USB-Bluetooth-Navigation-Screen-/150598061173?pt=UK_AudioElectronicsVideo_Video_TelevisionSetTopBoxes&hash=item2310580c75#ht_2749wt_1139

 

Being a designer by day, I am really picky about interface design, and this has a very nice one. And hard buttons too (have to have that for volume / skip etc.)

Also looks like the Satnav is done by TomTom so has quite the pedegree.

 

So has anyone had any experience with this?

Can I retain my steering wheel controls?

Am I right in thinking I will need the double din facia and BOSE wiring loom mentioned in this post? http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16403

 

It has 2x A/V inputs (so it says) so can connect up a reversing camera too.

 

[edit] Ok I have just seen a few vids on youtube and the actual UI is super ugly, only the TomTom UI looks slick. Anyone have any alternatives?[/edit]

 

It *is* a bit pricey though.

 

Thoughts?
