After Market Sat Nav Solved

[icelolly]

I have fitted a garmin nuvi 2519 lm to my c3 picasso exclusive using the same parts that are supplied with the factory fit Emyway. The unit looks as if were factory fitted and works faultlessly. It powers up with the ignition and shuts down with power off. Lifetime maps are included and from what i read is def the way to go instead of buying a factory fit option. Cost--£200 all in!

That sounds like a worthwhile job. How would you like to write an account of how you did it; where the parts were sourced from. It would make a useful reference for other forum readers.

Yes i'm willing to do that. This is a C3 picasso 64 plate so is this thread in the right section?

The Garmin 2519 is a 5" unit that has a nice flat screen and is very good at displaying with sunlight on it. This sat nav unit is smaller than the rectangular gap in the Citroen sat nav spare part where the Emyway unit would fit.

An adapter will have to be made that basically sits behind the new citroen moulding and is fixed in place by securing it to the rear part of the conversion kit. The parts that are needed from citroen are 3 parts. The main moulding that has the large rectangular space--a rear bracket that the original myway would be bolted to ----and a small plate that basicaly clicks in place simply to cover all the screws and has a hole for the fragrance diffuser.

These parts are about £73 all in from a Citroen dealer.

This link will give an idea of what the parts look like. This installation doesnt show the use of the rear bracket assembly which my plastic screen attatches to. The first part of the video shows the main cowl and the flat trim part which are two of the bits required.

Don't assume that there's no interest just because no one has commented. Since you posted just over a week ago the topic has been looked at over 120 times.

Very interested as I am looking for the same solution and very much appreciate your instructions. I have just purchased the C3 Picasso exclusive 2015 Reg and would like to to do the same Mod with satnav. I have watched the video and and feel confident to do this, however could you please let me know how the unit is connected to the power supply in order to switch on and off with ignition. Immediately after new year I shall be contacting our citroen agents regards the parts.

Hoping you can help, Best regards Brian (Jake8090) :)

icelolly has not been on here since May 2016 so we are unlikely to find out how the connection was made. If there is a 12 volt socket near the front of the car you could simply plug the sat nav in to that and save having to cut the plug off it but run the wire behind the dash/trim. If you do not wish to have the plug you could cut it off and then tie in its wires to the wiring to the 12 volt socket but make sure it is an ignition controlled supply to avoid the battery going flat.

Thank you moderator. Will give it a try.
