How do you find the BullyDog?

The Bully Dog is excellent except the boost is displayed in KPA(when its on metric setting) which is a bit annoying. I've emailed them to see
if the changes can be made. Haven't heard anything back yet....fingers crossed

Congratulations Mate... She'll Kick Ass once you put all those extras in... I'm sure if you get the tow pack from the dealer they would throw in a transmission cooler for free...

Nice looking truck.

Can you give us a review of how this unit performs. Can you load and run Ozi CE and topo maps on the SD card?

Did you fit it yourself? If so did the ISO cable supplied fit OK, or did you need to get another "Nissan" adapted cable, if so where from and part no. would be helpful.

Cheer Tim, Yep running OziExplorer on it now. The supplied SD card is 4gb and IGo8 is about 500mb so heaps of room to put maps on. I have all the Hema 250k maps and all NSW 25k topos on it and still have room left. As it uses the SIRFatlasV chip its very quick at start-up. The iGo8 navigation software is one of the better ones I have used. It's absolutely brilliant .

The sound is very crisp even with the sh1ty Patrol speakers. The best part is the screen and videos...bloody nice!! User-friendliness is much better as my old one so very easy to use. USB is easy as, you just plug in a stick and it automaticly switched over, same with songs on SD card. I would recommend it to anyone.

Took about 10 minutes to install but you will need an ISO adaptor and I found the Holden Rodeo or Mitsubishi Triton fit mine. These will depend on which model Patrol you have as they changed depending which stereo unit was installed. $14.95 from Repco, they have heaps of different ones. I think autoban sell them as well.

The only issue I had with install I found the constant 12v and switched 12V where wrong way around, so it wasn't holding its channel memory and would do a long start-up every time. 5 min fix.


If you do get one and need a hand, just yell out mate and we'll have it sorted no time.

Thanks for that Kris.

I'm in the "just looking" mode at the moment. For the past couple of years I have been using a windscreen mounted "no name" GPS from Chinavasion running IGO8 and OziCE, (with a 4gb SD micro card) the screen at 5" is getting a bit small for my poor old eyes now! Also keen to be able to run the music through a USB connection, changing CDs are just too much trouble in the bush.
