Thats the same answer I had via Navman, they werent to sure? As the software that comes with the ICN510 is the same version (not for retail sale) as that which comes with the ICN650, so they tell me?

So still no definate answer?!?

And they pricematched to 449 without a problem as long as the price was within 20 miles of the store - fortunately mine was and saved the hassle of travelling/ordering by post. Very pleasant service in Handforth, Cheshire.

I spoke to navman about my icn510 it had a fault on keeping the correct time. They told me to take it back to halfords and ask for a replacement. I did and it was exchanged within five minutes with no problems.

Thanks for comments Dennis, have just been to checkout the 510 at Halfords. Noticed the the shelf sticker quoted fitting from 50 pounds 8O
and the a remote was included...presume the remote inclusion is a mistake?

I think they can work off a remote, but none included in the box so far.

I've found the 510 at Empire Direct, who have a shop at the top of Kingsway, (A34) Manchester, they are showing the unit 'in stock' at 429.99, I'll see if Halfords will match this!

I have no axe to grind with Halfords and I do not work for them or any related company but have this week bought an ICN 510 from PC World rather than Halfords simply because my local branch of Halfords did not have any in stock otherwise I would have bought it from there.

I found the guys at Halfords to be very helpful, including spending time explaining to me how they fit the system into the car (wiring etc), even though the knew that I wasn't likely to buy from them as I had stated that I wanted it asap.

The one comment that was made to me was that if I ordered and then purchased the system from them, and then needed to return it they would only give me a credit note rather than returning my cash.

I was advised that this was because they had been having problems with people purchasing sat nav equipment, registering the software and then returning the equipment.

I do not know enough about this but perhaps this is why cheap software appears to be for sale on Ebay. and I do not know if this was official policy or not.
