I know it's better than getting your RNS/RCD nicked, but those pegs look a bit unsightly, don't you think?

Yeah, I personally think the pegs look sh*te, but if it stops it getting nicked...

I think im gonna go down the Hurdy route, i have just been boring out all the 3D parts off the fascia from my old RDC300. Looking pretty good. so by the weekend i will have my self a nice sh1tty RDC300 disguise.

Ill post pics of how it looks and fits. Although the Navi lock looks pretty good, i dont have £180 to spare, and it may just be me, but i think if a dumbass thief saw the Navi Lock he will think your hiding some thing good and my give it try anyway if its dark or quite.

No easy answer to this one!

However, it's still better than my old sat Nav:-

I have a little Satnav
I've had it most my life
It's better than the normal ones
My Satnav is my wife

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five"

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice

It fills me up with counselling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the bugger off.

sorry to hear this happened.  i always thought this could happen to our cars with sat nav.
i at first wanted to tint my windows, but that isnt allowed by law.  so its a tough one what to do.   i think the best solution would be for someone to design a fake slim profile cover to fit straight over the rns510

First mod on my car was the latest and best alarm system I could possibly find!


Always makes me think of the car alarm from Phoenix Nights...

It's such a shame that this could make people get those nasty looking plugs just to secure the sat nav. I think it looks awful and would probably just take the risk and not have it if I had the option.
I have a pioneer avh8400bt double din unit. Does everything I want plus you can remove the screen.

On my Kenwood unit I can remove a strip across the top, which the unit does not work without but its so subtle that the dick warts would probably not notice its missing and still break in :fighting:

Which Kenwood do you have? I've got the 520VBT, can any of it be removed for security?

Not sure about that one. I have the DNX521DAB.
