I think you need the little box to stick on your dash as well as the software, is this right? I was looking into this when I ordered my N70 but ended up sending the phone back cause buttons were too close together.

Dont all get excited lol, firstly it's version 5, which apparently is no good as you need 5.21. It doesn't load up to the phone, keeps saying install correct software for device which I have, so obviously it's no good for a N70. If you want the link to the download send me a P.M. and you can have it.
