Aftermarket Sat Nav

[DAZFR72]

Hi Has anyone bought a non genuine Satnav Unit to fit in the dash for the leon mk2? was it an easy fit and are you happy with the unit? did the unit have built in bluetooth and how good is it? am considering getting one from a well known auction site but rather cautious as to how good they are!!

same im looking at one but not sure what brand, what price, and i want it to work with my steering wheel controls

been looking at them on fleebay got loads i am watching with prices from 230 up to 800 !!! they all say will work with sterring wheel controls, My Cupra doesnt have the oem bluetooth fitted which is why i am looking at this option, my fr had it and i wish i took it out now as its handy to have. been quoted over 300 to have the bluetooth fitted by seat , not sure which way to go !!

yeah but its weather the steering wheel control on the stereo is analogue or digital for the canbus

they say canbus enabled no adapters needed, should i just stick to good old tom tom looks crap but does the job !!!!!!

Adventage with TOM TOM over a installed Sat Nav is that you can take it with you and all your favorites stay with your TOM TOM to be put into your next car.

Advantage with installed unit, looks better, integrated and is always there when you need it, not docked on your computer when you find out you could do with a sat nav.

but most aftermarket headunits can allow you to install tom tom on them, i did this to my last 3 i have had in cars

I'm thinking of doing the same but was going to get the proper RNS-510 unit from www.oemretrofits.co.uk. Not got round to taking the plunge yet though. They are quoting £600 fitted.
