Especially as the original one is smaller than the RCD510's screen, there is the 20% cost cutting.

I'll tell you what does bother me though.  Why does the on button rotate with the volume control?  That's just stupid and makes it look like the button is put on upside down at the factory or something.  Could they not have made a mechanism where the side rotates but the face remains upright like every other button of this kind anywhere in the world ever...?. :huh:

The RCD 510 (not nav) is the same.  I don't use the volume button to change the volume on the unit as the symbol on the button rotates with the button.  This clashes with my OCD as it makes the car look untidy.  So I use the steering wheel exclusively.

If Citroen can engineer a steering wheel where the centre bit with all of its buttons stays in the same orientation, why can't VW do the same with a volume button?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm so glad that I am not the only person that gets extremely annoyed with this!! I've had two Passats, currently in an Audi A3, and got a Golf on order to replace it. This has always driven me mad and my Mrs, my boss, and any other passenger in my car take the micky something rotten as I have banned the use of the volume dial, and rely solely on the steering wheel controls. I can't stand it when the power symbol is not upright. To make matters worse, in the A3 it doesn't actually settle completely straight, it stops in a groove either slightly to the left or slightly to the right.   :angry:

I think I need help   :grin:

So funny this, I'm exactly the same. My volume button has to be pointing north and at perfect right angles to keep me from going nuts :laugh:

Defo a bit OCD.

Sat nav is great.

Either the less expensive one or the more expense pro nav one.

I realty find the one on my MK 6 very good,
