New HU, Integrated TomTom

[dsing]

Purchased my 200 this last weekend and I MUST change the head unit and speakers, shocked at the sound quality compared to my old '08 Corsa.

I've spoken to a local car audio place and they've informed me that I may have issues because I have the integrated TomTom system in my car. Anybody any experience with this? I'm booked in to go and see them on Saturday morning for a quote and would love to know if this would indeed cause any issues or lose me any of the TomTom functionality . . . .

Thanks

It will stop your TomTom from working all together if you remove the standard head unit mate.

I used this to get round the problem.

thanks Luke, really could have done without spending the extra ~£130 when I have a seperate TomTom anyway.

May get the new head unit now and get this fitted to make the TomTom work again at a later date . . .

Finally got something sorted at least. Having a new set of Pioneer front speakers and tweeters (apparently made for Renault's) fitted on Saturday, should hopefully improve the audio on the car for the time being.

Will probably look at upgrading it all further when money allows.....

have you messed with the radio settings?

standard unit is fine imo but mine has had the patch.

I've had to turn the bass all the way to 0 just so the speakers don't sound like they're about to explode and that's on about volume 25. I also find volume 32 (the max) isn't actually all that loud in comparison to the Corsa I had with its standard head unit and speakers....

What's this 'patch'??
