MKVI Sat Nav Display

[Maverick]

Guys essentially my point was this. In the MKV there were 2 units. 1 NAV and 1 which looked pretty basic. In the MKVI (from what i've since learned) there is also 2 units. 1 NAV and 1 which looks very similar but with a lower spec (resolution) and no NAV. The reason for my asking all of this is due to the potential savings of not fitting the Nav as I personally rarely use it and if I do, the iPhone does the trick for me. I do however think that resale might be affected by not having the NAV version fitted. Come 2-3 years down the track when it comes time to sell - people may expect this kind of option above others (such as adaptive susp etc).

There are more head units available in the Mark V and the VI and two sat navs in the Mark V (actually two in the Mark VI if you could the RNS 310).

I wouldn't buy Sat Nav because the next buyer might want it. Either buy it because YOU want it or don't bother as you're throwing away money. The RNS 510 can be easily retrofitted later on.

Your RNS510 is probably incorrectly coded. They are a better sounding unit than either the RCD510 or 310.

x 2. Every car I've looked at with a retro fitted RNS 510 has incorrect coding.

Does not having the Sat Nav restrict you from any other features? MDI/Bluetooth for example?

And is there anywhere I can find details of the actual differences between the two units?

1. Higher resolution on Nav Version
2. Navigation Included
3. More buttons..

Correct... not sure why you'd need a 6 CD changer when it has a DVD drive, SD card slot, AND a built-in hard drive?

And yes, the DVD drive will read CDs.

Yes PLUS MDI hehe

I just thought it was weird that they have taken it away!

The 6 disc changer was standard on the old sat nav system because it had to have a cd in the drive for the navigation data.

The new unit doesn't need a cd in the drive for navigation and has over 60GB of storage for music (20gb+32gb+8.4gb) available hence no need for a six stacker that most people wouldn't use.
