Hi guys
Im new here, Im just dropping by to say, awesome work Fatboyfan and all you guys doing this site, thanks a lot!
My first encounter with Binatone Satnavs was a X350 UK that Ive managed to use in NZ with iGO8, ever since then Im quite keen this brand and find it pretty good to work with. I have a GSM shop (buy-sell-repair) but we also have some Satnavs in. Right now the list of Binatone Satnavs that I own as follows:
X350
A350
A430 (Western EU)
B350
B430
F430
G350
G500
T340
T430
T430 Camera (completely different model from the standard T430)
All these are in working order (apart from the T430 camera, that is yet to fixed), so would you guys need like the original file structure of these, or indeed anything that you would need me to test-out on these, Im happy to help and try to assist you with anything that I can owning these in working order.
I also have like a pile of not-working B350's (about 10 of them with different errors), Definitely seems to be the most unreliable model of them all (I would honestly rather buy an old X350 or A350 2nd hand of ebay for a bag of peanuts, than a b350 new) Im planning to fix these soon, so maybe we could work on those together as well.
Im more of a hardware guy tho, been changing lcd's and/or touchscreens (digitizers) on a few of these Binatones as well (there is a guy in China, you make nice hi-res pictures of your broken digitizer or lcd, give him the measurements and he sends a replacement) so if you ever smash your screen with the glove compartment's door (as it is the case most of the time) dont throw it away, you can still fix it pretty easy.
Right so quite chaotic first post, but hey, at least you know what Im about, and hope to share/swap/find out some good Binatone info together. Cheers!
