Hi there just wondering if anyone is ever thinking of selling their car that has a sat nav I would pay for a stereo swap. My original stereo for the touch screen one. Been hunting for one for months just can't find any. Failing this anyone know good breaking for parts websites where I could source one? So difficult due to the rareness of the car obviously ?

 

Thanks

Yes I've been after one Scoobs - some numpty breaker put one on ebay not long ago but instead of completely removing the wiring harness he just chopped the cables right at the back!

I suspect similar Bravo units would fit but I'm not that electrically-able to fit myself...................

The oe nav isn't touch screen, I'm not sure it would be worth the effort to retro fit it's ok but might be a major effort to fit and get it to talk to the rest of the car. The Chinese option might be better although I don't know what quality is like

The Navplus works ok, but the screen is resistive touch rather capacitive, so you do need a firm touch for it to respond. The tuner needs an aerial booster for it to be any good at actually receiving stations, but that's an easy fix for about a tenner. CD, USB and steering wheel controls all work as they should. Reverse camera is good as is the TV tuner as you can get most Freeview channels.

 

The Sat Nav installed doesn't have the UK on it, (Only covers Asia) but easy to in-install and get another android compatible map off eBay or the App store.

Ah great thanks all for getting back to me! I'll keep looking, was thinking of Italian eBay but would prefer the chrysler brand... I assume lancier would come up on the European systems? And Nello I saw that on eBay aswell and was equally as frustrated as to why he had cut the wiring like that! What a waste :(

 

Anyways the search must go on...

In wish I could get rid of that Chrysler logo! It's unknown what a retro fit would show I've been told that the units pick up which logo to show from the body computer (but don't know if that is correct or not) however European units made pre 2011 wouldn't have the chrysler logo in their software.

An Alfa tech told me that the radios have all the logos in the basic software and the body computer tells it which to display, he seemed to think that even if you tried to change it would probably change back again! Would be nice if he's wrong though!

Are you stuck on repeat lol?? :P

 

I'm fairly sure that's the third time you've said that! :lol:

We're all Italian car enthusiasts and a few of us have owned many Alfas, Lancia's, Fiat's etc and don't really like anything about the American brand Chrysler.

 

To give you some context, and apologies if you already understand the relationship and history but Fiat SPA (Parent company) bought Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, SRT and Mopar so they could crack the American market, and return to profit after a difficult time in Europe.

 

In the UK it was too expensive to resurrect the Lancia brand after so many years absent, so Marchionne decided to bring the Delta and Ypsilon under the Chrysler name to a: fill a gap in the Mini and C segment market, as Chrysler didn't have anything smaller than the 300c, and b: to obviously be able to sell Lancia product albeit rebadged in the UK.

 

This plan failed as most of the general public didn't know what they really were, and Chrysler with a ''not so great'' reputation was already struggling to shift their own product let alone some rebadged Lancia's.

 

The second mistake was calling the Delta exactly that, as most of us old enough to remember Gruppe B days will remember the real Delta blasting sideways through a forest stage winning many rallies, and as you know this aint that!

 

....More of an Italian ford focus family hatchback!!

 

I think the bottom line is these cars should have never have been badged a Chrysler, or have been called a Delta either... However we do love our marmite cars, the exclusivity, quirky Italian styling and the bargain that they really are... However they do need their identity restoring for all the reasons above! :P

For me the thing is the Delta is a very Italian car it's style is absolutely not that of an American, in addition the Chrysler badging, as well as being a later add on not envisaged by the original designers, is badly executed the grille just looks odd without the centre split or peak that gives it a symmetrical balance the Chrysler version looks like a goldfish in shock, also the tailgate badge is far too large and out of proportion. In addition having to try to explain to everyone on a regular basis that it's not really a chrysler at all wears me down! Edited by Rossocorsa
