    The RNS 510 is available on here for about $1200 so you would need to get it cheap from Germany.
    And why pay a stealer $125 an hour when a case of beer would cover the time

    Actually it has one of the worst GPS units Ive come across The rest of what the unit does is quite good but as a GPS it makes a great boat anchor

    It's missing a pile of what I would call "standard" features... but it's built in. Hell how inbuilt systems still manage to keep a huuuge price tag, zero features and expensive map upgrades (which are usually well behind the curve) vs $99 units with lifetime updates and better features.

    That said, it always seems to get me from point A to point B without issues.

    So is the one in my friends Mazda CX5 and it has Tomtom for an operating system and is as good as my Tomtom Go730. so why cant VW use a system like that instead of the crappy mapping system they do use. At least it would update more often and keep almost up to date instead of being at least a year out of date at least
    Personally I find one in the corner of the windscreen easier to glance at than looking down at the dash and away from the road principally because the bloody thing doesnt say the name of the street you are turning into Has caused some angst occasionally.

    I find I look at this one much more than the Tomtom that says turn into smith St in 50 metres.
    It is also is about 50m behind the car on the map which caused me to turn into the wrong st which was close to the one I wanted in a very awkward spot I guess its better than the Garmin I had which said turn now 50m AFTER the street LOL
