Been looking for a satnav for the Vec. Was wondering if people would advise an aftermarket radio or a OEM one? Can you fit and AUX in to the cdc70?
Any help would be great.

You can fit aux to cd 70 yes I prefer the oem look so I will stick with cd70 navi
Only the much later build CD70 Navi headunits have Aux In either fitted or directly 'fitable'.... however, there is a chap somewhere who can retrofit the Aux In hardware for you. As long as the firmware is post Jul 2010 it has support for Aux In.
Is it a good quality Satnav though? or just average?
I recently upgraded mines to full colour cd70navi and have to say can't fault it I also like the om look and sat nav gets us to we're we need to go hth
The sat-nav is average tbh.
If you get up to date discs you loose things like TMS but if you want TMS you have to use 6 Year old map discs and then you loose postcode entry (IIRC)
I use it and it's OK. Best thing is it will redirect you to a petrol station when you get low on fuel - which is handy in a 2.8!
Personally, I've found that some of the routes it takes are a bit strange - i.e. roads i know to be much quicker my way as opposed to the way the sat-nav sends me. it's nicely integrated though and I wouldn't swap it for an aftermarket model but since you're changing anyway, it's a tough call. Note that I did do a full tour of the scottish highlands with it and it got me round but it got a bit confused on SKye and sent me down a looong, winding, hilly, single track road instead of the much easier dual carriageway!
Basically, if you want an OK system nicely integrated, go for it. If you're not bothered about integration - get an aftermarket unit.
DP-
CDC70?
What one of them?
Or do you mean the CD70?
Anyway, apart from not being able to enter a full post code, it's fine IMHO.
And the stereo part of it, you can play MP3s once you've burnt them to CDR or CDRW discs.
