We have run out of systems and need to get some more. Autocab want top top money, does anyone know of a cheaper way?

We will need the complete system from radio to data head with all the wires.

Thanks

They pretty much have you by the nadgers, only chance you have is a firm getting rid of their equipment, and even then GPC will want approx £200 each to re programme each data head (or maybe even tell you its not worth it, as they told me)as for the cables, i know the moulding on the data cable has GPC stamped on it so it looks like they do everything in house. I should imagine somebody could programme your radios but i dont think they charge much for that anyway. I have details of a cheap supplier of gps antenna's (less than £10) if you need them.

Thanks, worth a try :sad:

We have got a few antennas off ebay, but not as cheap as you say. Please post the link or pm me the details for the antennas.

scroll down, they are £6 each (ex VAT) plus p&p, the wire is a bit shorter but they work fine.
