Try going to a $tealer with anything out of the ordinary never mind the SatNav.

The Becker looks like it does most thing but it still has limitations.

In my ideal world the SatNav would be :- (the bmw system has some of these)

Single unit design, with ISO connections
Standard double din size.
Touch screen
Programmable POI and instant (now) programming with alert sounds
Programmable voice direction (with downloadable voice changes)
Custom colour selection
Speed sensitive volume
Full postcode search (downloadable for updates)
Full map terrain mapping (lets see them hills)
Full up to date OS maps (downloadable)
Full TMC, I'd like to be told ("traffic jams ahead") if there is a jam ahead (even when not being routed).

I'd also like:-
Programmable screen layout (put things where I want)
Full Bluetooth compliant (and a2dp as well) (all phone and palms etc)
Palm/blackberry sync
Full telephone address book and sms integration
Phono in/out (plus a SUB out)
Video phone capable?
Built in Dvd/cd player, with aux (front (with cover) and rear) input
Built in DSP, with several surround/Dolby Digital modes.
Built in TV (analogue and DVB)
Built in DAB (plus normal)
Built in PDC integration,
Built in Rear view integration
Full Built in Ipod integration, with no lag
Full mp3 support, (ID tags etc)
USB-2 port (for mem stick with mp3s or mpgs/avis on)
MFSW and Voice activation (all functions)
Built in (free) GPS/GSM tracker, so you can phone or monitor your car when its at the $tealers.
Full system (ODB2 and IBUS) programming interface
WIFI integration, (possible X10 home interface) (with full encryption)
Web brower integration
Programable proximity detect (from phone or key)

The list goes on....
