Aftermarket SATNAV that uses VW touchscreen?

[Guy_H]

Well picked out, I hadn't noticed the extra buttons

What I cant get out of my head is that I can pay $500 for a top of the line Tom Tom or Navman (with real time traffic updates) and while I would love the convenience of an in-dash system, paying an extra 600% for the convenience, I just cant justify.... and more importantly, cant justify it to the wife.

I do envy those who did justify it, but right now, I have too many things to spend the $2500 on (mortage, home. race bike, etc).

Main thing is at least when I get lost, I will be in a car that is worth getting lost in

Good point, I don't think an OEM will ever be able to supply Navigation as cheap and as up to date as someone like Tom Tom or Navman, and the price vs number sold is obvious.

Saying that a second hand tom tom is worth nothing (and they out date themselves every couple of months) , but a fully integrated unit (IMHO) will always add value to the resale of a vehicle!

Slightly off topic but,

has anyone looked into, or even better, retro-fitted the RCD 510 touchscreen to a MY08 R36?.

Thanks

Hi Ralph,

We sell a full retrofit kit to put the factory unit in.

Guy,

What price, and what functionality do you get? I am interested in whether the bluetooth will work, the buttons on the wheel work and whether the MFD communicates with the unit, as per the factory install.

Also can the Reverse Camera be installed at the same time?

If you have a brochure or can PM me more details I will get back to you.

Cheers,

Sorry,

There is no brochure on the unit as its factory fitted (genuine VW part) - Bluetooth is an entirely different computer controller.

You can do reverse camera, but that really gets price prohibitive.
