Im liking that neat install with the GPS areial hidden.

On question, can you add speed camera locations as POI with the VW system?

Sadly, in a word, no

Placed the GPS antenna in a gap between the top air vent and the dash (where there is a bulge) and put everything back together. 

any pictures mate of the above?
Is the antenna totally hidden under the top air vent or is it resting on the dash?

The picture below, taken from the Doc's Nokia guide, shows the location where I placed my antenna, see red arrow.  Once the air vents are removed, there is a hole where you can neatly slide the gps antenna into and out of view.



I have had no problems regarding loss of signal as there isn't any metal above it.  Once reassembled, the antenna is out of view. (My dash below)



Hope this helps.   

thats spot on mate!!!
I've just bought the CD version from dj kolia and hopefully should have it soon to install and enjoy>

Thanks guys for your help!

i was considering getting the oem satnav and retrofitting, but now you say you cant play CD's whilst using the satnav I think i'll give it a miss - seems a bit pointless

wouldnt you think they could copy the CD onto the unit itself

buy the multichanger for the arm rest and you can have both!! not sure how much it is , cant think it would be too much

[TeddyKGB]

true... but that just means pulling even more of the interior apart - I have enough rattles as it is

One last question chaps:

How can i attach my Ipod 30Gb Video to the MFD2 ?
I want to use it for music and video.

Currently use an FM transmitter and that is 

AND is the DVD version of the MFD2 better than the CD version?

Thanks

Well I think it's down to personal choice.

I forked out the £2K for VW SatNav, just so it matches the rest of the car! I'm sure its not the best system on the market by a long way but I didn't want an externally mounted TomTom, etc to spoil the look of the car...

I just wish the CD player would play .MP3s and you could get a TrafficMaster and Speed Camera upgrade for the SatNav.

There is no need for the TrafficMaster "upgrade" - as it already uses the data - just make sure you have TMC enabled.

AND is the DVD version of the MFD2 better than the CD version?

Yup - full Europe mapping on one disc, greater numbers of POIs.

and also make sure the Sat nav cd rom has TMC ability as the cheapest uk version doesnt have it installed , only the new 2007-2008 worth approx £115 has Now finally come with the facilty. Previously tmc wasnt available on the uk version , only for europe maps only.
