So i've had my gti for about 4 months now, completely in love with the way it drives.
Then I went in my colleagues, who has exactly the same car, in a different colour, but with the discover nav pro installed instead. I got major car envy!
How difficult do you think it would be to retrofit the discover nav pro (bigger screen, 3d nav etc), or would the dealer be able to help somehow?
Thanks!

It'll cost you about £3-4K
you need to sell your car and buy one with Dis Pro - the units can't be swapped

There are one or two places that can swap the units but it's big money. It can be done but it's going to cost you a lot of cash.
Unfortunately all those cheap RNS 510's flooding the market on eBay for previous generation Golfs were from illicit sources and a huge corporation like VW weren't going to let that go on forever, so they put component protection on new cars which means that even dealers (who are basically just franchises all over the world - meaning not all will be too fussy about what work they undertake) aren't able to bypass the coding. It's a factory only job.
Similarly warranty claims from owners with third party ECU software through dealers that openly marketed third party software means any warranty diagnostics now get sent direct to Wolfsburg and hence we have the TD1 paranoia.

I've just been in my wife's A3 and the 5.8'' screen in that is more than big enough for me.
Much bigger and it would be distracting.

Well that's severely annoying

If you think the 8" Nav Pro screen is too big you might not like the new 9.2" gesture screens coming to VW.
