Sourcing RNS-510 units
« on: June 02, 2009, 10:01:59 pm »
Those of you you bought one after buying the car (ie not factory-fitted or dealer-bought), where did you source your unit from?

I want one but ideally from someone trustworthy enough.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I'm sure I saw your name over at the vwnavi site. How much did it cost you and how long did it take to arrive?
