FWIW I drive a 4WD Toyota HiLux Turbo Diesel
http://hilux.toyota.com.au/Hilux/HomePage/0,,,00.html and provided the
radio isn't up too loud the Navman PiN is well audible.

The main gripe I have is the $$$ required to update maps :-(

Why not pair your Bluetooth headset with the ppc, I did mine and haven't
looked back. I'm using Navigon on a h55 and, without the headset, the
sound is fine at 90%, but it is mounted to the right of the steering
wheel.
