What exactly does Dynaudio give you apart from a headache?  :tongue:

Only kidding.  But seriously, what is the supposed benefit over stock speakers?

Better sound quality...for those sat stationary, in the country, listening to lossless audio! ;)

Well all are very good points. I do need some sort of navigation. Not keen on wires dangling, so tom tom is out of the question. It can be a bit cumbersome with holding/looking at phone or entering postcode and driving too. An important point was the speed camera notification, didn't think of that.

I think I'll go for it, but the basic mind you. As much as the Pro screen looks good, we're talking leather option money. £700 odd is just about acceptable.

It's biggest rip off of them all IMO, you can probably flash the software onto the standard unit for free. £700 only looks reasonable next to the pro-nav price  :grin:

Anyone know if this Nav unit can give audible notification of speed cameras? That was the only thing that let the RNS510 down.

Flash? Now that sounds interesting. The Nav data is on the SD card I think. How would one go about doing this I wonder?

I was thinking aloud really, but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the two units are exactly the same hardware with a different software loaded for the Nav version.

The trouble is £1750 for a sat nav is so expensive.  Do you think in 6 months you will be able to buy the unit and just retro fit it?
