have you had a look in the settings mate? you can set them to avoid motor ways or avoid B roads and stuff like that. maybe the previous owner set it up funny. if you do decide to sell drop me a pm, i may be interested

VW Sat Nav
Has anyone actually managed to find a location using the VW sat nav? Currently got one installed in my new R32. Picked it up from the dealers last friday and thought i'd try it out on the way home - for a normal 10 mile journey the nav thought i'd be better going down the M6 for a nice run and then cut back up a dual carriageway back to my house all in all a 25 mile journey (hmm is this some special trick to allow you to exploit the full power of the R32 on fast roads 
). Any way tried to live with it for a week but have decided it needs to come out and be replaced with a nice shiny aftermarket unit. Currently undecided between Pioneer Avic D3, Kenwood 7200 or maybe even an Alpine set up but the Alpine becomes a bit more complicated as the Nav unit is seperate from the screen. Any one got any experiences on any of the above ? All advice greatly appreciated !

Hi...is this the new VW Navi RNS 510? I Have specced on for my R32 but have not received the car yet so cant really help there but....in my GTI i did have a kenwood DNX 7200 i must say its a great piece of kit, at 1500 it does not come cheap compared to other units. The navigation features are great and so is the ipod functions. Connect your ipod via the ipod adapter and on the unit u can browse through all your songs and even watch videos saved on your ipod. Here are a few pics

I have been thinking about this one for a couple of months now and just put my deposit down today on the Alpine set up and having it fitted on Friday by LM Audio (Check the spomnsor section on this forum or send Lee a PM) I was going for the Pioneer but heard that the Nav unit is much better on the Alpine. The seperate Nav unit sits hidden away and is straight forward once you have spokeen to Lee and he's explained it. Slightly cheaper than the Pioneer and Kenwood too. I also belive there are others on here who have also opted for the Alpine, pomme being one of them.jambo said:Has anyone actually managed to find a location using the VW sat nav?
