Hi all, haven't been on here a while but moving house and came across a brand new centre console that takes the sat nav screen. I imagine these are pretty rare and would be useful if you're planning a nav retrofit, etc. Attached pic so if anyone is interested let me know. Cheers...

Well I've replaced the o rings which was a pain. However retrimming the headlining was by far the worst job!
