End This Dilemma Once And For All Please !

[easyboss]

hello again members,,please please help me before i make a substantial purchase for a sat nav system,,i find toyota dealers very unhelpful in these matters,,. I have an avensis gls 99 year model,,it DID NOT come with sat nav as standard,,now, i went to my local toy dealer and asked them to sell me a toyota tns 200 system,,and ill pay absolutely whatever it cost to have it fitted,,wiring and all as i was told the basic wiring was not within my car already. I am hooked on the tns as my friend has one in his 2000 model avensis and it works like a dream,,so accurate,,i run a taxi and it would pay for itself if it meant i could pick up hires in unfamiliar locations,,

Now i was told it would be a pain in the backside to get it fitted as i would require the whole wiring for the car because my model did not come with the basic sat nav wiring etc,,then when i went to pay for system 2 days later,,was told toyota have stopped supplying sat navs for older cars like mine, and they only maintain satnavs for newer models like 2002 onwards. I find it difficult to accept that any person can take anycar to ant satnav specialist and have ANY system fitted to their car,,but a muti- million pounds motor company like toyota cant !!!!!!!!!!

I am hooked on this system so please any advice would be apprciated. Im based in glasgow so if any members are aware of any dealers in their neck of the woods in the uk who can and will supply and fit a toyota sat nav tns 200 to a 99 model avensis,,please advise asap,,thank you all very much for reading my post,,,,look forward to your replies,,

Is this the SatNav with the tiny little screen that basically just gives an arrow and a voice?

If so, don't bother paying a fortune, something like running TomTom on a cheap PDA will cost a lot less and give better features, like colour screen and maps etc.
