Well I can see you have no clue as to what this unit can do then as it is far from "just a compass". I happen to be on of the few here on Yota Tech that has installed one and I did a write up along with Rock Slide, Midiwall and a few others. It really is a kewl addition and it was never an option here in the US, so adding it is a fun project and can be a challenge.
90 pounds sterling is a bit pricy but the previous ones on eBay have gone for that much in the past. $90-120 US is more realistic. Didn't say anything about if it came with the sensor, you WILL need that in order to make it work/display temp as you can't order the part ehre in the US either.

Sorry, but, a barometer is close to useless. Look outside, you can figure out by the clouds what the weather is doing. Altimeter...the same.
Go ahead, spend your money on useless gadgets. Yeah, a million lights are real useful for all those midnight 4x4 adventures... and those clinometers from the 1st gen runners costing $100+... "Oh, I can't figure out if I'm about to roll or not..." give me a brake. Use your senses and stop relying on automated crap that wastes money.

Oh f ing boy...!!!! Its an altimeter and barometer. You can get those seperately for close to nothing. Its a rip off for how much they charge for this. You can buy a autorouting gps with altimeter and barometer for $200 and it has a million more things you can do with it.

Man someone is grouchy! Actually I've made plenty of midnight 4x4 adventures camping in the mountains and fishing. I think most people install those because they are unique, especially to the US, won't see them in many rigs. Ya, GPS would be cool too, but everybody has that
Also sorry to original poster I was replying too.

AFAIK (As far as I know), you can run your ad for quite a while on UK Ebay.
BTW (By the way) I agree, $180 is over priced...hence why no one's jumped on it thus far. I offered to buy it from him a month back at half the listed price, but got no response. (He's stuck on getting $180 for it.)
Oh and SC4Runner, you know how this stuff goes...different strokes for different folks
. Personally, I love mine. I did not buy it b/c I needed an altimeter, compass or barometer, I bought it more for aesthetics. Just the simple fact that these units were not offered in the US made me want to find a way to make one work in my vehicle. To me, it's just a cool gadget.

I wanted one until I got my touchscreen GPS/DVD/CD/bla bla player I like it so much more than a feild unit. It keeps my silly but found all the time. I havn't looked at a paper map in wuite some time.
But don't get it twisted this country boy could navigate around the globe using nothing but the stars, a magnet and a needle. But why?
