Hi all

I apologise in advance if this question has been answered somewhere else. I could not find anything via search.

I have a new 118TSI Mk6 Golf with the RNS510 system unstalled (by dealer). To anyone else who has such a system, the question is... "Do you have an ugly GPS transponder/aerial module thingy in the centre of the dash?"

I thought that these were old hat and that there where better options these days but what would I know given this is my first full factory SatNav system.

It just seems a bit crap that this ugly thing (looks like a black jar lid) is planted right in the middle of the dash (top). The annoying reflection it casts from the windscreen is a permanent distraction.

One of the service guys at my local dealer (not the dealer I bought the car from) indicated that he thought it should use the aerial in the rear window. That sounded like crap to me as we are talkning about a GPS unit, not the radio reception... but, like I said... what the hell would I know?
