Default New ICE Sat Nav idea

I've been looking about for a while for a built in Sat Nav unit for the 75. My preference was for a motorised single din system and I recently bought an Iovox fascia for the project.

While researching the various options, I came across this unit

http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn2210p/index.html and http://www.tomtomduo.co.uk/

Its newish to the market and at the moment is available in the US only so you would have to put on the Tomtom European maps.

The units can be purchased on ebay for less than £250 - although nearly all Sellers are US based so you may be caught for customs. I'm currently in "discussions" with a Seller to get one for £240.

Basic features are:
  • sat nav
  • bluetooth
  • cd radio
  • steering controls - if compatible with 75/ZT
  • touchscreen
  • fully Ipod compatible as far as I can tell (interface needed possibly)

I like the overall look of the unit, but I don't like the silver fascia on the Tomtom PND.

The double din fitting brings us back to the double din fascia adaptor problem also.

Any opinions?
