Wonder how much the Satellite Navigation RNS510 costs and if the price varies dealer to dealer.
I also wonder if it's really worth getting an inbuilt Sat Nav (dealer fit) over a standalone GPS unit (aftermarket) when the the inbuilt Sat Nav costs so much more. Thoughts?

Just about any modern smart phone (android especially with google maps) will give you sat nav function.Originally Posted by Gladiator
I am not quite sure of the benefit of a $2500 built in system that doesn't offer all the latest features.

Well that's one way to blow 2.5K on nothing. Think I might save the money and use the Melway. Getting a GPS/Sat Nav is only justified if you plan on getting lost!

The RNS510 will set you back exactly $3600. It's good to have because it integrates everything in the car (e.g. phone, iPod, MFD), albeit very overpriced. The same unit in the Golf only costs $2400 as it's a factory fitted option and not a dealer fitted option.
I think the sunroof is a worthwhile option, it just adds that little bit of extra enjoyment and fun to an already excellent car.

Hey Gladiator, the obvious choice is to go with a good stand alone GPS unit such as a Garmin (who have been around for years and have great accurate maps), BTW I am not involved with Garmin at all, just through experience using various stand alone GPS's. The stand alone is much more versatile, you can move it from car to car and take it with you to, say, Europe and use in a lease or hire car. Hey, use that $3000 odd dollars for the inbuilt RNS510 and take an overseas trip....much wiser move
