TomTom 530 - Volume? also, Will it work in a Ford Focus?

[mrchips]

Hi there,

After considerable thought and investigation, I have decided to purchase a TomTom 530.

I do have a couple of questions which I can't find answers to:-

0 - Could anyone tell me whether the volume from this unit is adeqaute for a noisy car.
If it is considered not to have much volume, is there an audio output socket which could be used to amplify it in the dash-board holder? (Similar to the active Brodit mount I had for my PDA?)

0 - My Navigator 5 sofware had the facility to change the background of the display blue after it passed a certain mph ... does that facility exist on the 530 please?

0- My Ford Focus has a heated windscreen ... will the wiring matrix in the windscreen create a problem with the GPS getting satellite fixes?
Will I need an external aerial? ....
... is there a facility for one on the 530?

Any advice would be welcome before I take the final plunge.

regards
