you can buy the new updated map from their website. I have downloaded a "copy" of updated 2009 maps but have yet to try it on my plenio

 

Tell me how it goes. Did you download from a torrent site? Thanks again for all the help.

 

yea i did, but the torrent seems to be gone now

 

Sorry guys i missed to recheck this thread. How is that plenio relibalility? I just ordered my Magellan which is 4.7 widescreen with live traffic updates yesterday. Maybe ill return it and get this but i need to know about the traffic updates Pois etc.. Also when you want to change the bettery for the plenio how do you do it, you have to take it out again?

thanks

 

It doesn't run off battery, it runs off direct power. I'm not sure if there are traffic updates or not, poi's seem to be fine to me.

 

no traffic updates

 

so i just read on this, and i am thinking of doing it with a double din and hooking the slim ps3 to it can i put a plug on the plenio and plug it in to a power inverter that will be running the ps3????????????

 

traffic updates are kinda big deal to me How much more would it cost for traffic updates?

 

I wonder if these 7" units would fit:

I'm having a hard time finding the said Plenio unit.

 

wow that dealextreme unit looks great, and it already comes with ocn8 it looks like!

much higher resolution screen too...

only issue I could see with that unit is it looks like the gps antenna is built in, and that might cause an issue with reception. size wise it looks like it would fit.

 

I don't see the dealextreme one fitting as good cause it has an extra piece on the top bezel.

 

As nice as that unit looks, read some of the comments/reviews left at the bottom. It looks like it has issues that you probably wouldn't want to deal with. Here are some pros and cons that I gathered from a quick glance.

Pros:

• The unit should fit (7.28" x 4.72" x 0.83") much like our Plenio (7.5" x 4.9" x 1.5").
• You'll benefit from the higher resolution.
• This supposedly has Windows CE so more versatile.
• It has bluetooth.

Cons:

• The unit must be turned on physically each time after being turned off (you can get around this with simple soldering, though).
• It cannot save your location and will reset your time zone to that of Hong Kong.
• The movies will play just like our Plenio in crappy quality and the sound quality is also said to suck.
• FM transmitter is just as weak as the Plenio.
• You probably won't get as good GPS signals since it looks to be integrated.

If you're still looking for a Plenio VX2100, here's one on ebay:

I was giving pros/cons for this unit:

I agree, the more I use it the more I realize how much it sucks. I am used to my garmin, so maybe I am just spoiled. Probably next time I have my dash apart, I am going to take it out

 

Are you using OCN8 on the plenio or Smart2go?

 

anybody do this to 06-08 cubby's? I really wanna do this

 

ahhh crap! my gps plug keeps coming off! this is the third time i need to reconnect it

hey all, i'm looking to get the software needed for the plenio 2100. I'm not a 350z owner myself, but my brother is and I want to get this set up for him as a gift. I don't mind paying for a DVD if needed, but is the software hosted anywhere? If not, I can host it for other members to download if someone can send it to me! Let me know, my email is lavacho AT gmail.com
Thanks
