Being Gen Y myself, I really despise statements like this.

Thanks Sandy. I didn't mean they stick out a lot just that they are visible compared to the 8". Seeing that the gps maps need this there will always be an sd card in that slot and you can see it. Kind of takes away from the OEM look in my opinion (I don't use sd card for music)

Ideally I'd have my phone plugged in and out of site and using the unit to directly control the phone image and remove the clutter of a dock/mount. Guess that's not viable yet though.

And that is what the DNS will provide. Hide the phone somewhere connect via HDMI mhl and you will have both video and touch on the screen.

This may have been answered but didn't see it in the first page specs, features etc. I did find out that the ANS series does NOT have any integration of the bluetooth functions to the MFD/MFI. I really like that feature as it shows incoming calls right in front of you and is easy to move around. Will the new DNS have this? I guess a more general question is what OEM features that are displayed on the MFI and OEM stereo will remain? I know AC controls will show on the stereo screen but what will be included in the MFI?

any news on us touareg owners?

**raymondtrudeau** · 12-09-2013, 11:50 PM

Well lets hope I have it by oct 25th. That's my birthday. Ha ha
If the firmware is not ready by this weekend. To make it fun we should start a lottery for the people who paid a deposit or paid in full..
We should try to guess the date it is finally ready,and the person closes to the date maybe can get $20-$50 off of the price?
of course this is up to sandy...
Just a idea to make it fun and make time pass

So I've got a deposit paid on a 610(7") because my current 8" Chinese garbage is too bright at night (I even tinted the screen!) BUT I'm now thinking I should trust audiosources to actually make a decent product that doesn't need sunnies at night & change to the 810 because I am used to the bigger screen now.
Any thoughts?

In Primo with a skin you can set the night filter under the Map settings.
