Looks nicer in that picture however screen is not a patch on the rns510 in real life, DP has had one fitted to his New rocket ship of a transporter. Full 7 digit nav not far away on mk6 golf.

Its been discussed a couple of time now. Just a shame they did not make it fully compatiable out of the box especially as its been sold through VW dealers. Just hope next years models better.

IMHO that looks a bit poop, may well function better than the RNS but you've still got to look at it! :sick:

^So when your using the sat nav you never look at the map screen? Or when looking for albums or tracks? Hmm.... :lipsrsealed:

Plus, it uses garmin maps which aren't very good.

Even so, you wouldn't put something in the car that you didn't find asthetically (sp) pleasing would you? which imo it isn't, just my two penith.
