Save your money IMHO.  Seen a couple of similar and they weren't great.

It did seem but too cheap to be true..
Might give pioneer another look http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-f9210bt_p-26434.htm or just look out for a RNS510 as I haven't seen any other aftermarket alternatives jump out at me.

The W205R does look an impressive unit, it's missing the nav element which would put me off.

I have my eye on a couple on EBay so will see how those pan out. I had Audi nav in my S4 & do prefer an in built unit over a TomTom etc or using my iPhone as I am at the moment.

I have the Zenec NC2010, which ticks most boxes, but admittedly it seems to get more expensive the longer it's been out.

I paid £100 less for an RNS510 version F including shipping from Lithuania. Its faultless really. Ive had 3x now, and cant recommend them enough.

I havent found any at £300, let alone £200 so I guess I need to keep looking..
