On the weekend I was lucky enough to pick up a DVD satnav unit for my BA Fairmont Ghia.

I have read my workshop manual as the vehicle owners manual says nothing about it.

It states that the satnav consists of the DVD/control unit in the boot, the DVD, an antenna and the remote.

So obviously I have to source a DVD and a remote but would the car already be fitted with the required wiring and antenna?

Thanks, Jim...

DVD Remote there is one on ebay at the moment

The actual DVD you should be able to get off ebay as well

You may need a wiring loom as its a factory fitted thing but im not 100% sure. I dont know where the antenna for it is located though.

Honestly I would have just bought a 300 dollar sat nav from d**k or something. The ford one is not the greatest of gps devices.

Yep that's what I'm asking. I picked up the DVD unit brand new last week.

I'm asking if the Ghia has the wiring already? & what else I need besides the obvious. Thanks for the tip on the remote but I'm not after buying one if I don't have the wiring for the satnav.

The antenna is in the parcel shelf vicinity however a couple of weeks ago when I re fitted the sub woofer I did not notice anything that looked like an antenna but on the other hand I was not looking for one either.

i would say you have to buy all the extra wiring ect. You have to remember when the ba's came out the sat nav was like 4 grand extra. I doubt they would have all come with all the wiring ect
