ST3 Help & Information

(1/3) > >>

darrens:
I have been doing a bit of research on the various mapping possibilities for my ED30.  Being from N Ireland we don't have the same backup as your guys on the mainland if there are any issues. 

I had pretty much settled on the bluefin but a local mapping company mentioned tonight that they could supply the ST3 unit that will hold 3 maps - standard, performance and economy.  I have tried to do a search and it comes up with a few threads but not really much information.  Has anybody any experience of this unit.  Is it specific to the Chipped UK maps?

The cost is going to be £150 for the unit, £250 for the performance map and £100 for an additional (economy map) so at £500 all in it is quite expensive.

Thanks

vRStu:
There are much better options.

if you want a handset get the Bluefin IMO, if you dont need a handset get Revo

darrens:
I would like the option of being able to put the car back to standard, not just for the VW service.  I do a 40 mile commute during the week and really don't want (or can afford) any clutch problems so ideally I would put the car back to standard for my work commute (in winter) when I am stuck in 50mph traffic anyway and then put the map back on for weekend driving or a dry weekend in the winter.

Or does this sound like a really stupid idea and bad for the car taking the map on and off so often?

darrens:
I also should have said thats why I was interested in Bluefin as I like the idea of their lower (270BHP) map as this may be something I can leave on the car all the time and hopefully not be as sore on the clutch.
