Just think how good an aftermaket system you could get for £962 !!

Iv said this many times before, aftermarket system is the way forward in the Golf. I know people like all this OEM stuff, but VW are just having a laugh with their prices.

I paid £700 for a new one from ebay about 6 months ago. Payed £40 to have it fitted. They are now selling on ebay for £840.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-RNS-510-RNS510-GPS-SAT-NAV-NAVIGATION-SYSTEM-MFD3_W0QQitemZ270344337293QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems?hash=item270344337293&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1689%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

Quite a good investment I would say. And is currently still the best sat nav VW have as an option all their cars and 4x4's.

btw did you try the map in 3D mode? A very good kit if you know all that it can do. Live traffic updates, POI's inc speed cameras and mobile speed camera van hotspots. And also works as a parking assist screen if you have rear sensors fitted in new golfs and rocco. Map of europe not to mention the 30gb HD :grin:

Does it come with the speed cameras as standard, or is that somet you need to buy and add later?

That's a bit pricey alright.  I'd really like to stay OEM, but I need to get my iPod connected.  Not up for one of those FM transmitters either.

I like to stay OEM as well TBH.....then again, ask Hury about his Kenwood system, that looks pretty cool - not sure how much it was though......
Check Hurdy's mod thread for more details on it....

This is one of the top end Kenwood range units and will sh!t all over anything VW can offer and is still cheaper to the tune of £210
