Addzest gismo - What is this?

Post by widdowson2008 » Thu Jul 30, 2009 11:17 am

Could anybody tell me what this is and what it does?

Could be an aerial of some sort?
Transmitting or receiving...?

Judging by the shape, i don't think no more than ten to fifty metres range..? I could be wrong.!
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...

Looks like an external GPS or GPS antenna to me, but without looking at it, it is hard to tell.

GPS Antenna for aftermarket Japanese satnav.

Have you got a stereo of any sort fitted?

When I got the Bongo it had one of those Jap radios which I replaced rapidly with a proper one!!!!
The addzest gismo didn't appear to be connected to anything (and still doesn't).
I also have a TomTom.
You have answered my query between you - addzest currently adding nothing to the quality of life etc so dump it.
Thanks y'all
Steve
