Hi
Some day I can see myself finding a really clean facelift 100 (I currently have a pre-facelift 2002 - I've done a lot to bring it up to scratch but it's had a hard life before me and the dreaded tin worm may eventually get the best of it). But the one thing that puts me off the newer models is the integrated and very dated nav screen.
Reading around, I haven't seen much positive chatter about the prospects of upgrading the stereo and nav, but here's a question - could the entire centre dash (screen, controls, clock, radio) be "downgraded" to the pre-facelift design, the one with normal DIN radio, chunky climate knobs etc? The hole in the dash is the same, and the climate anciliaries that the controls actually control are presumably the same. At some point down the line the main loom in the dash could be similar?
Thoughts?
