You can download any GPS software into it and use it, from what I understand.

i have been using it for 2 weeks now, the fit is perfect. interested to hear how it works out for the other guy that ordered it. i am about to run the cig cable behind the radio though, because it does pretty much need it the whole time. but, once i hide that cable u won't even be able to tell.

That's what I've been thinking about doing, was it pretty hard to remove the center console? It would be a really clean look to run the lines behind the cubby and out under to the ac outlet.

Looked at other people's audio builds and how they took at the center console seemed pretty easy and straight forward. If you get a chance, post up pics on how you did it.

Edit: I'm having a hard time trying to track the unit, once I'm at the xtreme deals webpage with my order number and tracking number, where do I go from there?

Thanks, I kept submitting my order number instead of my tracking number on the post office website, lol.

yep. it's kind of misleading. 1 good thing is though, once HK post says it's been entered into the US customs. u can use that very same tracking number to track it through the USPS website. it doesn't tell you that on there, but I was able to! it gave great tracking info!

this model isnt the right one for our cubbies as seen OP pics. The 7 inch model would fit flush but it cost $169

Well so far it says it's left Hong Kong on the 27th and headed here, but nothing about US customs or anything. Just hoping it gets here before the 14th.

Got it today, woot! I'm reading around the forum, and there's a way to change the boot up image. I already made a correct size picture and format, but where in the SD card do I copy it to? And how do I update to the newest iGo?

Edit: And ran the cig charger behind the radio and through the cubby, looks so much better than just having it dangle around.

2nd Edit: Got the new boot up image to run, it's the Nissan emblem with a black back ground, if any of you guys are interested in this I can show you how, it's easy. About the iGo firmware, I believe it's running the most current one, released March 09, latest one I could find. I do not know how to run other GPS software yet, the iGo will do for now. Will be posting pics soon.

This is the first gps ive ever had, so I don't know if mine is considered slow or normal compared to other gps out there.
This is my first one, don't know what's the norm for signal pick up. Right when I opened the box, plugged it in, and fired it up, it picked up signal in about 2 minutes. Which is funny bc it was indoors. Driving around with it in the cubby, it'll take about 5 minutes, walking outside it'll pick up immediately. Signal strength is strong, even in the cubby.
