Looks good.

A question everyone will ask.
What is the price.?????

[auspackelectronics]

Price

Price is 899.00 stock available mid March or so.

That looks very tempting actually, are you going to have a demo car available at any stage, id be keen to have a closer look at that.

i was thinking of getting ipod/usb adapter but that looks a lot neater and just noticed it has bluetooth built in, what does it use for a mic, could save a lot of messing around.

March timeframe is probably when i can afford something anyway.

Does it have to cone with the reversing camera? not sure id even use such a thing, even if i had it adn would prefer to keep the cost down than buy something unecessary

What is the quality of the screen ? TFT / Oled backlight .. Is it true sunlight readable etc

just to put it in perspective here. theres tonnes of double din size systems like this one on ebay. all you need is a fascia that will essentially convert your golf's unique sized space for the head unit into a regular double din sized one. but this looks very clean and tidy indeed

Is it compatible with the Highline MFD to display song/track info, navigation instructions etc? I see the steering wheel controls still work

[Thomas]

THis may sound like a silly question, but how will this unit compare with the new RNS 510?

[Logzy]

noticed it has bluetooth built in, what does it use for a mic, could save a lot of messing around.

Looking at the pics there is a mic on the front of the unit.
I wonder how good this would work as opposed to a roof mounted mic.?

It probably cant be much worse than the blueant i am using at the moment.

Id defo like to see a demo of it first. I've seen RNS510's for about 1000 Euro so its not that much more for them.

[OilBurna]

any linky's to the 1000 Euros ones Steve?

[STV4SYT]

Here ya go.

sorry not 1000 Euro, 899 pounds

899 GBP = 1206 EUR = 1970 AUD
I'd call that a hell of a lot more than 899AUD

It is, its more than double. Guess my "inhead" conversions are a bit out of whack.....

Would be great to see more screen shots of this unit functioning.

Menus - Playing MP3s.

what would be awesome is a Youtube video...

It must be touchscreen driven.

would be good to know the Bluetooth functionality - as in can the unit import phone book info?

will the steering wheel controls still work - Volume and Phone buttons? and any MFD compatability?

What sort of TV tuner does it have? Digital or Analogue?

The GPS Software seems to be Route 66 - is this the PPC version - or something different. how new are the maps?

Ipod integration - is there any other cables that are needed? does it come with an IPOD cable?

Need more info - or maybe a manual???
