Do you know how much you need to pay for vkool for your windscreen? If you don't mind RikeCool, I think I can get very special price for you.

On the topic of Windscreen... I bought a Garmin low profile external antenna...it has a magnetic base which sticks nicely to the exterior of the car e.g. at the top of the right side A pillar... But is there a good way to get the wire from the interior of the car to the exterior without causing a leak or drilling a hole??
The antenna is rounded on one side and flat on the other... the flat side has the usual screws and the usual sticker behind most electrical appliances...i.e. ugly to show if I simply stuck the flat side to the inside of the windscreen...
The antenna costs S$42 and I got 8 satelite locks with an accuracy of 2metres... amazing...

Yes, I have done mine. It cost nothing for me because the boss is a friend.
He said first check with your installer first (Lumma). Some may give free replacement for windscreen replacement. Otherwise, pls let me know and for sure you will get special price.

Meng,
try the 3M one. For the Windscreen and front side mirrors which require 70% light emission, it can block 100% of UV and 95% of IR (the heat). For the rear, you can get 25% light emission and 100% UV and 98% IR. I tore down my 3mths old VCool to get the 3M (now they have a special of $700).... Look for Kelvin. They have workshop in Ubi and Turf City...
Oh one more thing... 3M does not interfer with GPS nor ERP nor Handphone signals... i.e. there is no need to cut a square area for the IU....

tried that, all components are there but does not work.
I am going for self rehabilitation next week to quit this por....no.. I mean forum addiction as you have put it.
If you or any Nuvi owner want to test the Garmin map with address search, please let me know when and where I can pass it to you before next week.
