Avc9000-1
Hi all, I don't know how old the original post is on this SatNav & whether anyone is reading this thread anymore but i have bought the upgraded AVC9000-1 for my Golf Mk5 & it works pretty good, the sound quality is less than my RCD500 (stock head unit) but not bad, I'm going to shove an Amp in which may give it a boost & the satnav part works all good, as far as things being slow, if you have a mp3 disk in the unit with over 170 songs on it like i do & you start the car it comes up with the intro screen for around 5 seconds whilst it reads the entire disk then goes into whatever mode you were in previously & there is a button on the unit called DIM but it doesn't DIM, it either has the screen showing or the screen is switched off (but all functions as normal) there is no inbetween which is a nuisance as it is too DIM during the day & too bright during the night (unless I have missed something). So for me it is a matter of the sound quality being just ok (not good & not bad) & the DIM function. The ole saying 'You pay for what you get.' I couldn't afford the mega bucks at the start for the proper version so am getting 'the look' on the cheap. I bought mine through Auspack in Melbourne off Rob who was very helpfull in the setup (even though I self installed he offered me advice free of charge). Hope this helps. Nath
