Becker Traffic Pro HS Sat Nav + Classic Road Angel PICS

[Sundeep]

a short while agoI , I replaced my Porsche Radio Cassette player which was a bit weak... with a rather now pointless cassette function , well it is the 21st century now !

Becker make all of the Porsche Audio units, so the benefit is that it looks the same as the latest OEM unit's...

I went for the latest single DIN (was then!) Becker Traffic Pro High Speed unit (no.7820) which looks the same as the previous Traffic Pro unit but has the high speed function added (more memory & quicker calc speed)

and with the latest V3.2 Navteq Sat Nav dics (Oct-04) covereing all core West & Northern Europen in 2 discs, I have been very impressed with this unit... obviously lacking the current trend of large inter-active maps, but essentially the same !

Unit is prob' 2nd best to the latest Alpine INA-333 Single DIn unit, which has a larger single din screen and uses a more detailed DVD dics.... but this doesn't have the Porsche OEM look..

fitting was very easy, out with the old Porsche unit and this plugged directly in, as it uses all the same connectors.. also as it is the same as the Porcshe OEM units, my Porsche CDR-3 CD changer plugged straight in, without any need for any other connectors !

with the added benefit of having a higher RMS watts output, so I've already benefitted from am improvement in the audio !

for the sat nav function I did need a professional installer to help in fixing the sat nav GPS unit on the side of the dash (so it can see those sat's in the sky!) and the more difficult bit of connecting up the sat nav to the car's speedo cable (OPC _ Staples corner) which makes all the difference in absolute accuracy !
