P.S. What year and model pulsar you got (they are a great car...)It's a 2001 N16 Sedan. For what we paid for it, it has been a good choice though the lack of fold down rear seats was a bit of a downer. It's an auto so that the wife can drive it (she can't drive manual so the i30 is all mine, hehehe) and the only extras we got for it was a rear spoiler and tinted windows. It's done about 120,000km's and has had no major mechanical faults. It's not the most economical 1.6 I've had but for an auto it's ok.

Looks excellent bez10y especially with the bodykit. Dunno about the position of the satnav thoHeya Shambles, I played around for about 2 months with many different PDA holders and positions of the PDA. The main problem I have is that the car kits for the I-mate are bulky and ugly. With the PDA down where it is, I modified the length of the power adapter and GPS antenna (it sits on the dash using a small velcro pad) and with the volume up on the GPS software I can easily hear directional information without having to look down. I'm used to the position of it now and find it easy to use.
I'd love to get one of those in car systems but can't really justify the need for one as I only use the GPS if I need to drive to a place I've never been. Once I've been there once I tend to be able to reverse the journey and can always remember how to get there.

I think yours is too low, it takes a lot of time for you too look down at it and then back up, so it doesn`t seems safe to me..

I am still thinking where to place my PDA..Yeah, it's very low. I don't tend to look at it at all when driving, I listen for the voice directions. I think if I had a tomtom or navman etc it would be easier to place up on the dash.

Hi Guys.
This tread ran a little while back regarding GPS dash mount.
I recentley purchased a Tom tom one, 4th generation. Using velcro, I have mounted it on the under side of the centre console lid, though its not as flash as some pictured here as i didnt want to start drilling holes or pulling the dash apart.
