Title: The new 510 sat nav
Post by: firemonkey on 20 August 2007, 21:48: Hello, has anyone got the new 510 satnav yet? I've read on other forums that it will only fit 2006 onwards? If you've got one, whats it like? As good as it sounds?

I have an email address for the guy who sold one on eBay - PM me if you want it. He has access to others and was looking to sell at about Euro1450, however I am sure this may be open to some negotiation. He did ask what price forum users would pay, but I have never got round to posting the offer.

Never read anything about the unit not being able to be fitted to Mk 5 GTI's as it seems a straight swop/fit in the dash. My car is a 2007 model though.

I think once it gets below Ã‚£1000 I might start to get interested...

I emailed the seller to tell him his price was way off and I would take it off his hands for Ã‚£1000. He responded syaing he is buying them for more than that so no can do but he did lower the auction price by about Ã‚£150. IMO he is still way off, I can get European models from the US for Ã‚£1000 just not sure what to do.

Post by: 2007GTI on 24 August 2007, 11:39: I saw a lead on VW Navi, I asked for the info and then I got an email from a guy in Germany from www.need4street.de.

He said he gets brand new units straight from the factory for Ã¢â€šÂ¬2099, thats Ã‚£1400, plus Ã¢â€šÂ¬15 for delivery.

Still too pricey for me, but they look legit.

If anymore wants his email, please PM me.
