If you use the Impulse Audio adaptor, you don't lose the clock and a/c display.

The impulse kit can be found here: http://www.impulsecar.co.uk/product_details.php?productid=MjE=

As for the OEM Sat Nav, you are right you would need the Sat Nav Head unit (button in the middle), screen (it is bigger on the Nav version), map DVD player (glove box), GPS antenna, steering wheel buttons for HFT/Voice controls, HFT Bluetooth module and HFT Microphone.

It would be much simpler and neater to get a double DIN head unit with Nav built in as you've been misinformed about the clock.

Thanks for your reply Loxy regarding the double din unit if if was to go ahead with that how would i change the clock time setting how would i change it?
as the oem SAT NAV is that all i need beaucse i think the fella who's selling it sold the steering wheel is it possiable to get one from a diffrent car and is it important to make the sat nav work or it it just for the HFH plus do i need the dash part above the the sat nav screen to composate the size of the screen let me know if a speaking to quick?

You adjust the clock via the steering wheel controls. It's something like a long press on the channel button takes it into set mode. It comes with instructions.

You could put the nav in without the HFT but a lot of the nav, climate etc can be controlled by voice commands and the hands free telephone bit but the need the steering wheel buttons for that. You'd only be getting half the functionality.

You definitely need the bigger upper screen, the one you have now is just the display for the radio and AC etc., the nav one has a second LCD screen for the nav that isn't there on the non nav screen.

bigger upper screen will it fit in my car or will i need to get off the top part of the dash?

 

[Loxy]

It will need the top part of the dash from between the radio and the screen. The nav dash slopes down more than the non nav dash.

Seriously, just get a double din.

Yes. I would have thought the guy selling it to you would be giving you all of the bits and you wouldn't have to ask for every little part? :lol:

You've not even mentioned the GPS antenna but you're going to need that for the Nav to work.

Get a double din.

but he told me i will lose the clock

All of the pictures I've posted show the clock working, along with the climate display. This facia and adapter have been out for a couple of years, used by hundreds of people and proven to work.
