So just to clarify bw this thread and your website

$3k is for screen, hd and vw maps?

How does Google maps work, is it a wifi connection tethered off your phone or on the hd?

Are you providing the wider dash trim panel with the kit?

Google is not an option at the moment im afraid as we sold our last unit to South America.

The wider dash panel is available , I have 2 in stock at about $330 brand new cost price.

The maps are loaded and the Component Protection Removed so you can self install.
The price on the website does not include the maps, activation or component protection removal
We have to pay extra for this service and hence pass it onto clients.

So what's the total price for it to be up and running?

Due to $ vs. Euro and changing price for map / activation & component protection, as well as differences in the equipment we can only quote via email. I wish it was as easy as RNS 510

Cant see the reason why it would not work.
Do they have an app for iPhone or just for the HTCs and the likes?

Mirrorlink is select android only and vw have a few apps specifically for it so far. I can't seem to find out precisely which markets it is available in yet and which models. I figured the top line discovery might have it in there somewhere.

With VW's MIB 2 system around the corner, I wonder if it's worth holding off till later this year as the MIB 2 platform will allow integration with smartphones and include MirrorLink and CarPlay. I hope it's retrofittable! The Discover Nav receives a significant upgrade (CPU that's 2.5x faster and a 6.5" display of twice the resolution).

Keen to know pricing on a current gen activated Discover Pro Nav so I will be contacting you privately to find out how much this is going to cost me now vs. waiting.

In terms of activation and component protection removal, how will this affect the warranty on my vehicle as the nav system may be considered a "significant modification" under VW's terms and conditions and thus void the warranty for the whole car?
