Taken from an autotrader shot; what is the device on the dash? There's a built in satnav, shown working in another pic, so it's not that. It could be some sort of OBD device but if anyone knows I'd appreciate it.

That'd be useful, if true. I can't zoom in enough without destroying the resolution. I'm hoping someone has the same device and just recognises it.

Long shot, I know.

Looks like a tomtom. Onboard nav well out of date perhaps?

Is it an alfa?

Hope the onboard is in date, the car is a 2009 model. Not an Alfa.

Brilliant. Cheers, Swampy. Karma

Just need to research them and see if I can stream music on one. That'd be dead handy.

Yeah it's a bluetooth kit - as for the car I have no idea, but i'll hazard a guess at a VW Polo

The clocks, vent, switches look like the car is from the VAG.

I thought it was a Road Angel type device myself.
Factory fit OE inbuilt nav often doesn't have camera locations/speed warnings.
The one in my 2009 car doesn't anyway so I have a separate device for that.

Its a traffic master device, if you look closely you can see the the trafficmasterTM.
As for the car, it looks like a mazda of some sort. Oriental looking layout.

It's a Subaru of some kind - maybe an Impreza.

Nice job.

I will lay some karma on you when I get home. Work PC doesn't allow the pop-up menu to dispense it.

A traffic master device? I do not know of these things. I shall have to do some investigation.

If it's something to protect against speed camera locations and the like, I will assume the car has been driven enthusiastically so far in its life.

Phoned to ask and apparently it does all sorts of road type trickery as well as being part of the tracker package on the car.

Thanks for the input, guys. Obviously I couldn't phone when I posted last night. Very Happy
