At least this is relevant to the Golf.
More than can be said about star signs. No wonder the forum has been a lot quieter.
Downhill rapid.

True......can't believe I actually responded to that !

It looks cheap in my opinion compared to the normal display. My mate's got it in his A6 and it doesn't move me one iota. Utterly, utterly pointless.

And to put it in context £180 is one third of a remap to 250 hp, one third of what Darren charges for an RNS, more than one half of what Darren charges for a Bluetooth system.

Need I go on?

Na fair play - not seen in it the flesh, but I think it looks good from those vidoes..

Well done Snoopy for posting this up.
Satifies a curiousity a lot of us had as to what it would actually look like  :smiley:
It actually looks a lot better than I imagined it would, but I can only think it would be £180 well spent if you specced the nav unit to make the most of it.
Would I spec it myself? Dunno. But there doesn't seem to be any shortage of people willing to spend £30k on a Golf so £180 is a drop in the ocean really.

Which is why the cars are so damned expensive in the first place - cos VW know there's a load of mugs prepared to pay over the odds for them.
And yes, I know I'm one of them!!!!!

I notice the outside temperature is displayed on each of the screens. It doesn't do that on my "old" black and white MFD. Is there a setting in the setup that I've missed?

Mmm.........I'm going to have to investigate further methinks! It shows on the pages showing oil temp, consumption etc, but not if I'm displaying the radio station or media player
