Pics look good.
Is the Screen Open button flipped to the right for the RHD market?

I'd like to see a video of it in action with someone in the RHD driver's seat to see what the touch screen reach is like.
Preferably on a sunny day so it illustrates how the screen brightness holds up in those (common) conditions.

Nice idea, but 2 problems that I can see:

1) No maps outside of Europe

and
2) At 500 UK Pounds or 560 Euro, they are pretty steeply priced.

IMHO the W6050 or similar offer much more for quite a bit less.

As I said though, it's a very nice idea :thumbsup:

Here's the main site:

ACAP has developed the product to suit the local NZ and Australian markets. As you can see (photos) we use PolStar mapping software teamed up with Navteq hard data. Its very simple and easy to use. Plus its been tested in NZ and Australia for over 3 months, picks up those nasty fixed speed camera's with ease

GPSTar is more like a stealth installation for Navigation. The problem with front head units is that they offer every type of connection and when something goes wrong or the unit is stolen then you're not happy. Stand-alone products like GPStar, Dension iPod connection and Fiscon Bluetooth connection offer connection of various devices in a subdue manner.

This device uses as factory location currently not occupied for a very smart user interaction.

As for the other comments:
- the unit doesn't have a release button in a separate place for RHD
- there's not much point to a video, its one of those things you need to see in a car for yourself. There are various resellers in Australia currently they are the best to give you this type of demonstration.

thanks

these units will soon be available from most VW dealerships in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. check them out for yourself!
