Cost is a mix of a number of things:
  • VW don't have to try so hard to keep costs down
  • TomTom needs to get low cost, as wholesaler, distributor and shop all need to make their bit
  • VW kit is integrated in to a much larger system and costs more to develop
  • higher quality components
  • with people like Siemens and VOD making the kit, it costs more
  • volume of sales - many, many, many times more TomToms than VW, Seat, Audi and Bentley motors about
  • and lastly ... because they can!

I wouldn't change it for anything. Neatly integrated, far less desirable to a thief and adds to the whole GTI / GTD thing for me.

Look peeps, the software comes out (more or less) every half year or so.

I am buying my wife with a new Polo (yes, with Sat Nav) in April/May, so hope that this software is the most-up-to-date-software (i.e. early 2011).
Once I have installed it into my 2010 GiT and sent it to Steve30 it is all yours, for doing the rounds.

If you want it, PM me with your address
