As title, got in from work tonight, 35 mins later and its job done

scary bit !!!




All done

Cool!   Looking good! I like the black glossy front too...very bling

If you don't mind me asking where did you get from and how much, did you get a navigation dvd with it as well? All the czech units on ebay seem to have disappeared, I assume due to the police raid having cut off supply of new units. 

Looking sweet,

I was thinking of upgrading to this, but i spent my money elsewhere,

Is that touch screen?

That looks smart.. Who supplied that and for how many pennys?!

Very clever - I bottled it and got the local ICE installers to do mine - did  you find somewhere clever for the SAT antenna as mine's on the dash? also does your allow postcode input as mine only does street names.

And finally stop letting your cat drink Cider - He'll get fat:

Where did you have it fitted Andy? I have had work done by Safe & Sound in Keighley and they did a good job but were pricey!

my antenna is hidden here  , well on the opposite side (ps ignore the sirius ariel, not my pic)

 theres no need to get someone to do it, its very easy imo, if anyone is local to me i will more than be happy to help them out

Hi Aiden, thats where I had it done - he's quite good but can be a bit pricey.

Well done to Town the other day by the way.....

Now thats a neat job.. I was worried the metal grill on the speaker wouldnt let the antenna work - but I assume it must be fine if you already had the other there.

Must see if I can relocate the antenna now..... Very useful cheers

They do a good job though, you can give them that.. I don't mind paying the money if the job is done right and so far they have never let me down.

[Thanks Andy, i was there.. What i quality atmosphere! I have never wanted to beat a team so much as scummy Leeds. It got to the point where i was nearly losing the plot.. Then bang, Andy Holdworth's header in of the post and in the back of the net on the 76 minute. That soon shut the 'Bell-End Road' lot up!]

Oops drifted off there.. Back on topic now.

Is it just me or does your map of Europe look bck to front or upside down?

On your map Rome is to the west of paris and Madrid ????

 it is, when installing i pressed the compass button, its now the right direction

Nope, it works fine, picks up 8 satellites all the time

Top quality job, looks a great bit of kit.

Just got to wait until I can justify getting one - maybe wait until the missus breaks her car again, so I can spend some money too!

 Andyfa- The new V3 disc which has just come out cures the fault with entering uk post codes.

Dont suppose you have a copy you could burn for me ? Happy to pay.

 me too :-)

It doesn't matter which radio you spec the car with because you're going to be removing the radio when you install the Nav unit.  It'll work in any Mk V Golf, not just the GTI.

TDI-line:

Also did you spec the high line computer?

This is a must if you are thinking of getting Nav at a later date.

Think it's a £40 or £50 option but also comes if you spec the MFSW.

 yeh, getting the info on the highline is very , tells you direction to go in nav mode, and also give you name of the road etc  , i also now have the version 3 disc so now the postcodes work too

TDI-line:

Thanks Burble. My next question is where can i buy these from and how much? And would prefer a proper shop, no just a lone seller fromt Ebay, if that makes sense. Thanks again.

Mine came from eBay back in October last year so they were very rare on there at the time.  From memory I paid about £1000 from a guy in Holland. 

 i actually had the rcd 500 6 disc jobby with soundpack, but the 510 will fit most current (within last 3 years or so) with no problems at all, and yes i have highline, i got mine from czech for 1000 euros, about the only shop i know that has them is

but be carefull and check they have stock as they didnt when i checked but still had the ebay advert up 

£1,249. A bit steep........

Think I'll stick to the Road Angel for now!

 tbh i will use my tomtom too lol, but only for speed cams

Since I installed the 510 I've not used my TomTom in the R32, but I did have a seperate speed camera warning thingy anyway - I've got a Pogo Alert which is great.  It is nice and small and I've hardwired it into the car (the device is easily removable). 

Very tempted by one of these but given that I could remove one in less than 5 minutes I worry about the theft risk. Think I'll wait till they are a bit cheaper.

 ooh, more info on the pogo mate ?

There's a bit about the Pogo Alert here.

Blue:

I have the VW sat nav already but if I bought this latest one would it be like plug and play? also would I lose any steering wheel button uses? or MF display info?

I had a play with one down at the dealers in a toe-rag! lovely piece of kit then started thinking I want one!

OFF TOPIC (ish)

I've just got the new 'road angel connected' and its great - just hope more people buy it so the active site information is more useful :)

the latest one is plug and play (you do have a mk5 i guess), and all my controls work, and nav directions appear on the highline computer too :-)
