There is a new touch screen hard disk based satnav coming out but VW are not sure when this will be arriving in australia. I am getting mixed stories from different dealerships.

I'm waiting for my GT Sport with SatNav.

Dealer told me that SatNav from 2nd week 2008 would be RNS510 touch screen so I waited.

Thanks mate!

Certainly seems a good step forward for the nav systems in VW's

I just picked up my new Jetta with the SatNav and have to say the unit is a little bit of a let down. From what I have seen of the new touch screen based unit this will be an awesome upgrade.

Sorry you feel let down Thomas. I hate it when that happens.

the drive more than compensates for that and you know what.....I actually get my music sorted, set my destination and turn the display off.....the MFD directions are good as.....and did I say the drive was great?

Cheers

This last one has a VWA document saying that for a GTi it is $2,490. The 6 disc changer is no longer automatically included and costs a further $790.

As a part it will be about $3000 (not inc fitting) available end of Feb.

Bluetooth will be available, but it will be the same factory bluetooth that is available now. The full interface where numbers come up on the screen and full access through the unit will be available at 'some stage' this year.

Do you think you'd be able to upgrade to the full interface bluetooth when it becomes avaiable?

hi mark

it was $2990 (same as the current navi in an r32), and i ordered through hwy vw - brisbane.

Just added it to my order without any hassles. Now I just need to wait for April.

Probably about time to visit a couple of the spares people to see just what the status of this system is. I was going to install the Eclipse AVN6000. We've already got it in a couple of cars and it works very well (as a navigator and all its other functions). But, I would rather have a more integrated look, plus having the MFD as part of the system appeals too.

My biggest reservation remains the maps. I know that the Sensis software works very well, and in the Eclipse is very quick. I guess we'll have to wait and see......
