http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?LH_BIN=1...os=96818&gbr=1 plenty still there. You want the plenio vxa3000. You might be able to find it cheaper other places so just do an good search. Not alot of people like this item because of the crappy software it comes with. That is why I had to hack it. OCN 8/IGO 8 is the program I recommend putting on this thing. If you do get it and need help with the software let me know.

Thanks for the link bro!!
For some reason when I did the search around 6 months ago, it always came out empty, but I did google though, not ebay.

I'll get one and will definitely hit you up when I get it to hack.

thanks for the help.

you could start by reading the beginning of this thread. I don't think anyone else has come up with a gps replacement for the stock screen besides me. there is not a whole lot of room up there. you can try using the search at the top.

I just added an ipod adapter that works the steering wheel controls. I think your low cost sounds like my second mod. Moving the oem screen to the cubby sounds good since I don't use it anyway. Great job!

the only way to update the map is to go get the igo8 program. You can purchase it online or find it through torrents. Google is your friend on this one.

http://www.filedropper.com/sdmemory here is a copy of my sd card. Unzip and place all folders to the root directory of your sd card. I will post pics once I install in my car. Probably same time tomorrow. Let me know if file does not work. This is the first time I have used this site to upload to.

your title says >200 (greater than 200) or under? TITLE=X and X > 200 means X is more? so your mod cost more than 200?

not being nit picky just want to know if you did this for under 200 bucks. it looks great! definitely want to do this for my car.

ok I am back from vacation and uploading the file to rapid share as we speak. It will take a bit of time. It is about a 420MB file. Will post link when done. I really miss Megaupload. So much faster than rapidshare.


Here it is: https://rapidshare.com/files/1031363194/SD_MEMORY.zip

I also posted link at the beginning of thread. Download will take a while.

Stock screen relocation question

po8pimp, or anyone else that can help me. I have a 05MAX and wanted to relocate the OEM screen also. Great looking mod by the way. Do I have to buy or extent any cables/wires that hook up to the original screen? Do I have to fab any brackets for the relocation of the screen to the bottom cubby hole? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

One question. How do you turn it on and off since power button would be hidden once installed?

Hi, I just did this install i my 05 Maxima. As for your question, the Magellan 1700 GPS unit will power on and off automatically as you turn on your car.

Post pics of your install so we can see the final product. Also include what things you did differently for your specific install.

SD Build

Hey,

Would you happen to still have a copy of your SD card build for the GPS somewhere? I had one given to me and I also have a Maxima so I figured, why not? Thanks in advance!
