post 1998 yes, Carin?? In Mini-facelifts

Early Facelift Elites did NOT have Sat Nav, but post 2001 they did 2013/2015 units, with optional colour screen

For facelift you will ned NCDC 2015 or NCDC 2013, along with the GPS which is a little 'bee sting' ariel for saloons which is mounted on the roof, on estates its a large base of the standard ariel.

GPS will need to be connected to the headunit, along with a MID upgrade to GID or CID. Could be a costly upgrade for the factory fit look, and a system that was designed in late 90's

Far easier and cheaper to get a little Garmin unit  :y

Omega37 - have a look at mine if/when you come over.  I have both types in mine.


All post 1998 3.0/3.2 came with some form of satnav, options on all other cars.

Fakra aftermarket GPS antenna solves the issues in Omegas with the radio aerial in the back window.

Vxl Sat Nav is fairly poor, even with the latest disc.

No postcode search, can't find things like Silverstone circuit/ major airports, house numbers in the required road is very limited, just gives you an intersection (hopeless unless you look at a map to see where each road intersection is, negating the need for the sat nav!!) and re-routing because of Traffic jam is crap

If you are going for a retro fit i wouldn't bother with it, not worth the time effort and money
