Hi all, I am seriously considering getting this unit. It is the European version of the Avic-N1.

I have a few questions though:

1) How easy was this to install? Did it take long? How did you connect up the parking brake and speed wires?

2) Where did you install the "hidden box" that has the connection for reversing camera etc.?

3) Where did you mount the gps receiver?

4) If you have the CD changer as well, where did you mount this? I don't like the idea of taking the map DVD in and out all the time so will look to get the changer.

5) Anyone in the UK with one? If so, do you have the new disk with the updated postcode/town search? If so, is it a lot better and does it work ok? I've read reports the old disk is hard to find places on.

6) Did you have to order any other cable kits to connect power/speakers or did you simply unplug the stock unit and plug this one in (obviously you also had the extra box, parking brake, speed wire and gps receiver to wire up.) But any other cables required?

7) With the angle of the unit in the dash, is the screen easy to see and not too distracting when driving?

8 ) I've heard if you mute the beeping, if you switch the car off and then on again it looses this setting and will beep again. Is this true?

Thanks. Sorry for all the questions but you lot are very knowledgeable and saves me asking some dum-*** in Halfords who doesn't know his left from his right!
