Hi Plasmod, I think I just about ticked the opposite options to you!
Lane assist wasn't available when I placed the order otherwise I would have. Would have liked blind spot assist too (available overseas but not apparently in Australia).
However, I ordered my CC with the R510 unit including GPS, rear camera, park assist and upgraded audio. I am sick and tired of using portable GPS TMC or not! (BTW don't you hate the ridiculous TMC dongles used on those ridiculous portable units?)
Park Assist is probably a gimmick, but a cheap option (so I ticked) - but there was no way I was ordering a CC without the rear camera! (Have you checked out the rear visibility lol?)
I got the fleet discount as well. Very close to the price you paid too.
I noticed that the only option we both agreed to (or rather didn't agree to buy) seems to be the panoramic sunroof. The fact that it only tilted (did not slide) irritated me to no end (though it does look trendy and nice). I will probably instal a proper aftermarket sliding roof afterwards.
LOL, maybe we should compare our cars one day (when we both have them) and see what we are really each missing out on!
Good comments all. Yea the tmc dongle is a bit lame but it actually works hence better than nothingcombine that with a friction mount you can put it anywhere safely & take it off easy as pie.
The fact that irks me with the rns510 is that
1. it comes with a dvd drive & removes the cd stacker
2. the cd stacker is $850 extra
3. you can only get the reversing camera with the RNS510 & not without it
4. the reversing camera is not a ccd & not as good
5. gps on the rns ...you lack the pois & therefore you will lack the speed cameras, traffic cams etcetc
6. there is no tv function with the rns510
A better option i thought might be the pioneer AVIC-F10BT. It's only slightly more ex but has a bit more features. Apparently it can all be integrated into the vw setup wth the use of various can-buses.
Worse to worse all's needed is
1. retrofit a rns510 myself (sourced from ebay later on)
2. retrofit a wireless ccd camera to the back (just need to hook it up to a power supply
3. wait until a new version of the rns510 came out with dab+ & install that instead.
Heehee i came from a honda civic hybrid; the rcd510 itself is already far better than the hondano complaints here!
Do visit flir.com as well; not sure if it is avaliable in australia but it will really be cool if it did
Leagle, lane assist is not in the pamplets but it is avalible on the dealer's computer system for ordering, best ask & see if you are keen. When is the delivery of your car? Did you get a good finance deal?
Blind spot assist will really be good; i can never understand why the continentals get things that we don't here....thats just not quite...right. Comparatively the lane assist costs $340 pounds to add on in the uk & i am paying close to 1700 for it here....go figure. I heard they have even started offering dsg7 in the ccs in the uk already...
It's crazy isn't it...a sunroof that only tilts![]()
Unless your into high end aftermarket audio, id just get the RNS510 and Dynaudio, it will be far more integrated.
I have a AVIC-F900BT, which is similar to the F10BT, and it looks alright but nowhere near as good as a RNS510.
well the rcd510 has a sd card slot as well as with the mdi i can just plug in an ipod anytime for storage & leave it in the glovebox i guess. Still not convinced re the rns, esp the experiences of a few here on the forum with whining noises as well as coverage dropouts.
There is a cool factor i admit but probably not enough for me to though 2k into it for what it offers. maybe i need to see leagle's or psyk's car before it finally dawns on me
when are you receiving your car psyk? The price i got was without the trade in, tradein makes it around 60
what colour is evryone getting? I am having the moccha
