Kenwood Aftermarket Head Unit With Navgo Gps Navigation Unit

thaki · September 11, 2015

Hello to all,

This is to share some information regarding about the Navgo gps navigation unit that i have been using for a while and thought of sharing my experience with the member of this forum.

please do not take this the other way round thinking that this thread is about marketing this product, as my intention is to share my knowledge and experience hoping to help other members in the forum .

I drive a Toyota Hilux and have been owning the car for close to 8 months now. Since my family and myself likes to listen to some good music while enjoying the drive, I went with a Kenwood after market head unit since i do trust the brand and have a good sound quality as well. i didn't want to go behind a chinese crappy head unit, knowing the end result.

While i was getting the head unit installed i also installed a Navgo gps navigation unit (basically it's like a piggyback ecu) since actually one of my close friends who lives in a

Australia told me to get this unit installed as well ,while installing the head unit.

I took his word and went on with it, and i am amazed with the results that i am experiencing . This unit actually supports all the maps in our country, and works perfectly well without harming the sound quality.

I also did a research and found out that this Navigation unit is ideal for Jvc, Kenwood and Pioneer after market dvd navigation units.

I was also able find this link in youtube, which is a video that has been done in our country and i have posted the link below.

So there it is, i hope this information will be helpful,if anyone is seeking for an aftermarket gps navigation unit.

thank you and cheers

How detailed are the maps in this and how frequently updated are they against Google Maps? Ever since Google introduced navigation in SL I just use the phone with a car charger to get around and it works well in Colombo. Also are roads and Maps in rural areas marked properly? This is one con on Google Maps. How are updates delivered either way? Does it have a 3G SIM slot or do we have to download and copy the map files?

Sorry for the delay, i'm using a ddx615,

And Mr. Ramishka, actually the maps are provided by the Sala prosat map data and it's a combined package that offered by Navgo. The maps are pretty much updated and even all the minor roads are available as well, and also it's far more updated than google maps. It doesn't have a 3G sim but I was told that they will be introducing an android version GPS module which will have 3G and few other tools.
