installing sat nav in ED 30 GTI??
« on: March 17, 2013, 04:08:59 pm »
Hi all, picking up my ED 30 this week and first thing i want is to upgrade the stereo to a sat nav head unit. im not sure what head unit i have at the minute, its just the standard cd player by he looks of it. so i just wondered what units are available and what are there benefits of the different models?
Also is it just plug and play or does it need coding?

One last thing, is it possible to install the OE aux socket with it in the arm rest as mine hasn't got it installed  :sad1:

thanks in advance  :smiley:

Best OEM option is the RNS510. Built in nav, 30gb HD, SD card slot and can be connected to to iPod..

Aux is a easy DIY..
