a good one would cost around £650.....thats like £1350 saving of the command 2......its no command 2 but it does exactly what command does (apart from the dvd player, but you can still watch movies:P) and the screen is smaller and not fitted into the car....
heres a bit of information.....(btw the tom tom navigation is also available in the u.s......anyone got it???
