    Great great great service. I cannot recommend this service enough. I sent my unit to two other repairers on eBay and neither could do the job. This was analysed, fixed, comms sent to me via WhatsApp and delivered back to me within a week.

    My RNS 510 radio was going on and off randomly accompanied each time by a loud popping noise through the speakers. I toyed with the idea of replacing it with a new digital type unit but found out I’d probably have to change my reversing camera as well (more expense!). When I saw the Navitex advert it seemed a much better idea as it would be straight back in and compatible with my camera. I contacted Navitex to order the repair, got the radio out and sent off on Monday, I got a WhatsApp video of the working unit on Wednesday and it was back with me and I reinstalled it on Thursday. I’ve given it a few days to settle in and can confirm it’s working fine and seems better than it was before, now it’s had a software update. I have already recommended the service to a couple of friends and will have no hesitation doing do again.

    Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. So helpful as well. The radio even appears to start quicker as does the satnav. No question is to small for them. Really quick turnaround as well. :)

    My RNS 510 had given up after several software updates, with the touch screen not responding, endless boot loops and none of the physical buttons both on the unit and steering wheel working. I decided to call Navitex who over the phone were confident in being able to help. After posting off the unit, I had the diagnosis within 48 hours – broken CPU chips so a new motherboard needed. The price was clear and feedback honest, so I asked for the repair (which I thought was a reasonable cost). That same day I had a video clearly showing my fixed unit, and it was with me the next morning all carefully packaged. The unit has worked very well since, in fact even better, as a free sat nav update was included in the repair. Would recommend to anyone with RNS510 trouble – saves a lot of hassle by using Navitex.
