Does it have any built in POI's for campsites? Don't fancy adding ACSI campsites one at a time

David

Sadly not. There are no POI's at all that I've found, not even fuel stops. I keep pondering getting a cheapie tablet and loading something like Co-Pilot.

CY, have you been brave enough to open the note pad holder on top of the dash, yet?

my TT will allow one file at a time, rather than one specific POI, but that's bad enough with around 20 odd to load....

i expect my MH dash system is Blaupunkt (in a Pioneer unit) and the Germans don't have the same length postcodes...

France is the same, I remember our first venture abroad and dialling in the first ACSI site...this is easy.....no....driving around the countryside for ages with the thing telling me 'you have reached your destination'.....nothing to be seen for miles around....

we were at least 5km from the campsite, French postcodes can cover very large areas...

so, haven't even thought about my own POIs on that Blaunkt, too complex, although I am convinced there are some pre loaded (not camping though) ...it's there for back up if all the TTs fail...

finding sites (and especially Aires) in winter time in short hours of daylight requires exact coordinates, so to that end, a POI set is invaluable.

Your enquiry has acted as a reminder and I've just been out to have a go. By some cautious levering with a couple of flat-bladed screwdrivers, I have managed to prise up the forward end but I can't raise it more than an inch or so. Looking at the lugs that retain it, it would appear to be a non-sliding panel and may be a different design. This would seem to be borne out by the handbook which says it is not moveable if a passenger airbag is fitted.

that's a shame. I do have a passenger airbag but does no affect the holders operation....as you say, maybe Peugeot have done something a bit different.

however, I would have thought that, if the unit came up an inch or so, it might be designed to come up,all the way.

if it weren't 'raiseable' I would have thought it wouldn't move at all?

however, don't break anything....

can you post a photo?

CY, this might help, or not....

yes, I agree the retaining Spring clip on oours was very strong, and I was definitely apprehensive about giving it a firm pull, but being brave (foolish) one day, I imitated DL and went for it....'twas all that was needed....

however, it does seem (from my linked thread) that the Peugeot 'design' might be slightly different.

having got it 'working' I haven't found a use for it, but holding a 'satnav' tablet looks favourite for those who have them.

looking at the image below, I can't see any particular reason how this stand alone folding piece of plastic could interfere with any airbag.

the only clue in the linked thread is that it's to do with vans that have double passenger seats/airbags in which case the tablet holder would interfere with the centre passenger airbag.

do Peugeot vans 'with passenger airbags' actually come with two?

 

The Peugeot cab that we had looked as if it would come up as it had a clip but in fact on the model we had it didn't. Later models of the Bailey's did raise up.

I'm 99.9% certain that it's not supposed to. I had to apply a couple of flat-bladed screwdrivers at the windscreen end to bow the panel to get even the 1" gap. Further application of leverage at the other end was fruitless. AS a feature it's pretty useless as if you used it as a clipboard, the reflection of any documents onto the windscreen would be a distraction and also degrade the dash cam image.
