New aftermarket head unit with full Golf VI MFD integration

Thanks, good points on all sides.

Glitches/Bugs: WinCE is only used to run NAV and the previous China units that I've owned have had zero problems running iGO. You never ever see WInCE on the unit I have in the other car. So not a big issue for me.

Do I really need MFD integration??

Buy direct & save $200: I have done that before and luckily have had no problem with the unit. A warranty claim means sending the unit back to China. My preference is to send it to Sydney.

So overall it is not such a bad idea if I can live without MFD integration.

Thanks again for all the response. Has helped.

This particular unit appears on the surface as one of the better ones. Decisions, decisions....

Have you considered a Zenec unit?

Retains all factory integration, has local warranty, local support, top quality specs.

Calibrated, thanks for the info. The Zenec unit look the part with MFD integration and iGo NAV software. The price tag ($1999) is a bit hefty for me however, and would probably be more inclined to spend $1100 on an actual RNS510. Not sure I can stand up a valid business case for the RNS510 even (WAF - very low)

Cheers.
