purchased brand new 4 months ago & still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. complete with:

• original installation CD
• car mount kit
• car power lead
• mains lead
• USB lead to connect to PC
• official TomTom carry case
• original memory card, with the addition of the latest fully legal safety camera database

This piece of kit mounts perfectly in the mini & costs less than a third of the price of the factory sat nav option. Pics below are of this item mounted in my mini. You'll be hard pressed to find these retailing for less than £380, this is in 'as-new' condition, still under warranty. if you're local i'll quite happily come & show you it. Offers around £325

Are you sure about that? I just checked the PC World site and it's listed as being £429.99 in-store and £396.00 if you buy online.

i'd be amazed if anywhere was selling them new for £299. are you sure it was the 'Go'?

[chughes163]

Yea i think the cheapest you will find one new is about £360 from the internet - and you may have postage on top.

Come on - this is only 4 months old - not a bad saving is it

[ALD0]

I have just bought 1 brand new they are £360 online but that does NOT include VAT or Postage-The cheapest I got was for £394
The new ones may change that though as there are different version to be released I believe?

[Nameless]

I gotta say I've been looking around and £325 for a virtually brand new Go seems a steal to me.

And knowing the way this bloke polishes his gadget's it'll be in cracking condition.

Just wish I hadn't just dented the wife's car and had my pocket money stopped.

I've seen this working, and its a great piece of kit for anyone wanting Sat Nav

does it also allow you to plan routes Hat, so you could put a MINI run in?

If I didn't have factory nav this would be my next choice

if you go onto their website there's a free software update available which amongst other things includes a 'plan itinery' option which allows you to choose something like 40-50 points along a route, either using postcode, POI's, adresses or using the map to select places. its pefect for run planning

[ALD0]

That sounds good-would need to have a look at that-the only download i could see on their site is a software upgrade (sorry for going off topic)

[Hat]

link to the support page with the update. new maps will be available soon but these will be chargeable

[Rakey]

I still can't believe this hasn't been snapped up, bargain for a great bit of kit

[Hat]

any takers before this goes on ebay?

it comes with 2 options for fitting into the car - either onto the dashboard via a big sticky pad or the preferred option as you can see in the photos on the first post by a sucker onto the windscreen. the sucker has a lever mchanism which gives an excellent grip onto the screen. i've left it in since i bought it & its never fallen off. there are other brackets you can buy for a more permanent solution but for me one of the benefits of this device is that you can simply put it in another car if you want to - my wife uses it her car if she's going somewhere new.

the wiring plugs into the base of the mouting bracket & feeds down the side of the dash, under the steering wheel & plugs into the cig lighter. no removal of trim was necessary & it took about 15 minutes to route & tuck away. again i just leave it there permanently. it also runs off rechargeable batteries which are good for about 4 hours so you dont have to have the wire in at all if you prefer
