Ask the factory. Aeromax came with an optional Clarion fold-out touch screen SatNav and entertainment system. I binned mine as when out it obstructed the row of switches above. You may find you face the same problem whatever unit you fit since you have the same dash.

I guess that the main issue will be the space behind the dash. Given that the size is a standard 1DIN you will -well, should- (since we are talking about Morgan) have no issue in fitting it but, for me, the problem was to find a nice clean way to put all the cables behind. Apart from that, if you are not bothered of not being able to access the buttons while using the sat nav unit, it should be fine.
IMHO the design of all those units does not match Morgan style.

Becker Mexico had a Stereo/SatNav that fitted perfect into the Dash, NAC had a one in his Aeromax, the screen was small but very neat.

Beware internet scammers claiming to have one. Some unscrupulous people know how desperate owners of exotics are to have one of these beauties.

I had the mexico in the Aeromax. It's functional - like a medium wave radio can get you music! I'd always go for an iPhone with Google maps or a stand alone unit. Bayou can change the satnav whenever then and not ruin the look of the dash....

I have a Becker cascade unit that has full European mapping if anyone wants to buy. I had it in my Aero but switched over to the Parrot Wi.Fi/sat nav/stereo (a forerunner of the unit available for the new Aero S5).

Mr Tony
I had forgotten the iPhone option!
I will look for a stand / bracket and give it a try.
Many thanks
