I'd say the rns first mate. I've got highline and while it's nice to have a play with the settings don't think I'd bother spending any money to upgrade to it.

What can you do on the highline? i know it shows door open with an image of the car and some coming home functions etc, any others? Im sold on the rns but dont want to buy off ebay, would rather meet someone off here for example and hand over cash!  :party:

+ 10,000  :wink:
You won't regret it. Arguably the best mod for a Mk5 imo.

You can flick between audio, navigation, MFD and setup.
Setup has things like your coming home lights etc.
Audio displays track names, radio station etc.
Navigation gives you the directions on the screen.
and the MFD has MPG, miles left in the tank, average speed etc.
I dont know how you will navigate it without a MFSW. Someone else will have to comment on that.  :confused:
:happy2:

EDIT - Top Cat!!!! :congrats: :signLOL:

You can use the switches on the end of the wiper stalk to navigate through the settings.

I've got a highline and I've had a play with the settings about twice. It's nice to look at, but really that necessary?

RNS is a much better (and more desirable? I'd say so...) mod to start with...

Well, out of those two... ... ...  :happy2:
