Is the yeti pricing fixed yet?

I asked which sat/nav was fitted so I could look at the manual that I had downloaded. He advised that it is not the factory unit, rather another brand that is fitted to the VW cars.

I was only aware of one sat/nav unit?

As far as I was aware, apart from appearance difference, the VW unit is the same behind the cosmetically different front.

Can you post a picture?

Hi Wai

The sat/nav is a Zenec NC2011D

Quite an impressive unit in itself but it doesn't have voice activation like the Columbus

My gripe is that I was told one thing to get the order then bush whacked
In true sloppy fashion it wasn't set up either - I had to get the parking sensors working (on the screen) plus the aircon diagrams
It is made for the VW range of vehicles and it looks much like the Columbus -
Again my gripe is that the car value has been compromised

All I want is what I was sold - no more - no less

77tsi should have the Swing radio. Looks like this:



Standard 103tdi and 112tsi in 4x4 should have the Bolero radio. Looks like:



And the optional Columbus sat/nav with 30GB hard disk. Looks like:



Appearance wise there is not much differance between the Columbus and the Bolero. I always have to get a close look to see if there is 3 or 4 buttons on the sides.

I think it model is RNS510? It doesn't matter weather you buy a Skoda, VW or a Audi, you get the same unit, just with a different badge on the front.



Happy Days.

That's a different story then mate. I would bring up the fact about the voice control. Show them the brochure and ask them to get it the non-existant voice control working. If they cant then go to fair trade. Or ask from a $3,000 refund because that's what the sat nav option is worth.

Happy Days.

Was trying to upload a photo of my sat/nav
looks very similar to RNS510 and the guy at Zenec said that it was in fact a better unit
What ever that means

Ah ha !!!!
We have success

Thanks for your comments
Yes I agree that it should be the Columbus
Bryan Bryt at Mt Gravatt is the dealer concerned

Sorry about all the grubby fingerprints - but it is a touch screen

Well it looks identical. Hopefully it's not a chinese copy!

It was the $4,500 I was quoted that made me not get the VW one. I would have been pretty cheesed off if I had paid for a VW unit and found it substituted. As it was I ordered an anti-theft alarm and had to accept one fitted by the dealer otherwise it was going to be many months to get an original one. That is OK as I simply wanted it to work with the one remote, which it does.

I ended up getting an ANS-610 and am more than happy with it. It was a straightforward unplug and plug in affair. Sme MFD functions related to the radio and phone do not work (which I knew of before I got it), but it is not really an issue, particularly as I can get something like 7 of them for the price of one original VW one. I have received two phone calls, and the callers were not aware I was driving at the time. The navigation is all I want (and a lot more). About the only flaw is that where the unit mounts, the trim has a slight curvature, but the ANS-610 plastic fascia is flat meaning that the bottom of the unit sticks out by around 1 mm. not a problem and those who have seen it have not realised this.

No NOT Chinese - it is made in Germany
Credit where due, I sent an email on a Saturday to them (Zenec Aust) regarding registration for map up dates - it comes with 12 months free updates and they replied with a phone call by 10.00am on Monday - to me that was impressive service - their upgrades are free and they claim their map updates are only a fraction of what Skoda will charge for theirs - although I can't find the cost for map update on their web site - strange ??

In the photo you can just see the blue SD card that I'm running the music from
Think it is a 2gig and has about 600 songs on it - works well enough
But the 30gig hard drive would be better and probably quicker than the SD card too

But at the end of the day it still lacks the Voice Control
and doesn't have the onboard 30gig hard disk
(sigh)

As I said before I feel ripped off and treated like a "mug"
Just hope that Skoda Australia can do something about it
This will probably be our last new car (I am now retired) and this has put a real dampener on it

30GB Hard disk is actually quite slow. There are a few people who have swapped them out for solid state drives but apart from that you are better off running a 30+GB class 10 SD card. You can get SD cards with transfer rates upto at least 95mb/s.

Happy Days.

I had multiple quotes and they were all around the $3000 - $3200 mark.

Happy Days.
