Perhaps a new GTI and question on Discover Nav Pro vs Discover Navigation

[fredgroves]

I'd doubt it was any different TBH. The difference in dynaudio is just the amp and the speakers.

NavPro has exactly the same audio decoding software, no amp and same speakers.

I actually think the audio quality of the standard nav is pretty decent as far as standard head units go. I did notice going from Golf Mk5 to Focus Mk2 stereo was a clear backwards step. The Octavia vRS i had after was a step up again, and the Golf 7.5 another step up. Therefore the Dynaudio must be better than the stereo in my front room.

Dynaudio is very nice indeed. Really sounds excellent.

But IMHO, much like NavPro, its good but is it worth the cash it costs? Its what, 500 quid? Thats a lot of money for even a home audio setup. I suppose you could argue that if you owned the car for 5 years its not much a day but...

The "tech pack" on the runout Mk7 was a good deal, that was definitely worth the money.

I'm sure the Nav pro has a slightly different sound processor in it or at least it did on the mib1.

Well guys deal is done and I’ve just ordered my GTI. This will be my first Petrol powered car in 12 years, and whilst the GTD was and still is a fabulous car, I have to admit that even at my age, I’m quite looking forward to picking her up.

Went to and fro on the options but I’ve settled on the below.

GTI 230PS 5 door
DSG
Indium Grey metallic
19” Brescia alloy wheels
Art Velours interior
Dynamic light assist with lane assist and traffic sign recognition
Dynaudio sound pack
Keyless entry
Wireless smartphone charging
Climate windscreen
Rear view camera
Dynamic Chassis control

I umm’d and arr’d about Nav Pro but after using them both and having a good play in the showroom. I decided that as nice as Nav Pro was (for me), it just wasn’t £1325 better than the standard Nav which was really nice and very responsive.

Expecting around 16-20weeks so late June / Early July which suits to be honest, so hopefully I can collect it in some decent warmer weather.

Thanks to all those that helped with the decision making process, I’m very happy.

Congratulations on your impending new arrival. Hopefully it will make you very happy.

It's your money at the end of the day so if you are pleased with your choices then that's really more important than what any of us think.

I think you missed boot liner and mudflaps

Nice choice, you'll enjoy having petrol after diesel I do after having diesel for about 15yrs.
Will you be changing your forum name?

Fantastic news!

In between selling my Golf R and picking up my Mk 7.5 GTi PP my dealer lent me a Mk7.5 Golf R estate for a week with Nav Pro in it.  At the time I thought how much better the resolution of the Nav Pro display was (but maybe not £1325 better) and was starting to regret not ticking that box . Anyway when I picked mine up with the standard Nav i was a little anxious when I first turned it on but I needn’t have worried it’s hardly, if any different and very much better than my previous MIB1 Nav so I am very happy with the standard head unit and Dynaudio 👍👍👍

Its different but you get used to it. Also, I use voice control to switch between modes anyway...

i just use the buttons on the steering wheel to change source
