hi there

yes it fits, but the maps are VERY out of date.

something like 2003 is the LATEST!

hi there

thought that covered it. ::) ;D

no, no new (or updated) maps are available.
that's where the issue is with the unit. other than that, it's a not bad bit of kit.

but if it can only get you to near where you're going, what's the point?

Oh I'll stick with my Zumo 660 off my Bike then..thanks for the info all the same.
Mind you the 7000 at least give me the option of listening to my "Round the Horne" Cassettes!

do you find that the radio quality is in any way superior to the 7000?

No, but to be honest I dont find any difference between any of the radio models, unappreciative ears maybe :)

got one in mine to, sat nav is ok but latest map was 2003, bit slow compared to the newer stuff, looks good though

I reckon it'll look good in the old Scorpio too Matt...
Mind you a bit skint just now...just bought a replacement interior for the Racing puma..just to get the front seats, remember mine were torn....so it might have to wait...
Still..get the two out of my Puma repaired and relist with the rest of the interior that I don't need...you never know they might not cost so much after all!
That Blo*dy blue alcantara!

Relist the old front seats too, there will always be someone on a tighter budget then you and they wernt that badly worn
