Mk7 R sat nav

BTW, if you want a big screen and are unwilling to pay such a high price for the DNS Pro, how about this from Drivee Audio. Don't know how good it is.

When I took my car in for it's second service to VW in Hereford they had a Kenwood unit there - fitted price was very close to what Discover Media sets you back. I supposedly can do everything VW unit can and has full 3D map and same size screen as Discover Pro.

I am not too sure whether the Kenwood Sat Nav will be compatible with the Mk7 as the Kenwood has a built-in CD/DVD drive whereas the Mk7 has the CD/DVD drive in the glove compartment. I might be barking up the wrong tree as I am no ICE expert.

From what I've seen it had all the standard VW radio items included.
Most likely the exisiting parts in glove box would be removed.... I think one of the main reason why VW has split their sat navs and radios into 2 parts (CD drive and control part in glove box and display/touchscreen only in dash) was to prevent thefts.

Could you kindly find out which Kenwood it is please. The only one I can think of has a 7" screen.  Be most grateful.

I thought the Kenwood user interface was dreadful compared to the rns510 and the nav pro.
