Here she is...

The thing really works pretty well. Only had it in for a couple of hours, and I've already got everything up and running - bluetooth handsfree, satnav, dvd playback, cd playback all pretty intuitive to use.

Will say more after dinner..

Looks spot on mate!

The beep at every button push is really annoying.

Also, it takes too long to recognise a CD.

Overall though, I cannot complain since the price was so good!

It even looks OEM. Fits in perfectly.

First impressions of the Route 66 software are very good. The moving map has quite a few street names and POI's come up, which really helps with orientation at a glance. I have noticed other software (TomTom and CoPilot) does not give so much on display info.

Will post more after some decent usage.

I take it this is not a factory fit?

Does it interface with the steering wheel buttons and dash readout?

what id like to know is if the annoying beep happens when you push the buttons on the steering wheel? also does the beep come out of the unit itself or is it played through the speakers? if it comes out of a little speaker on the unit then you could just disconnect the wire.

After a few weeks of painful experimentation, I ditched the Route66 and am running iGO8 (based on the MioMap core) on my AVC-9000:

Much happier with this over the Route66.

Thanks for the Vid but it looks like you couldn't get it to do anything useful. The user interface looks a bit messy?
