Title: Which built in sat nav?
Post by: davla on January 25, 2013, 11:43:49 pm
Has anyone got any recommendations for a built in sat nav radio jobby with bluetooth? There seems a lot on ebay? Also, are the built in sat navs as good as my TomTom IQ routes? Cheers.

I have the Kenwood DNX920BT. Great sat nav, Bluetooth, iPod, DVD and a great stereo to boot. Sat nav is garmin...  :smiley:

ive got the sony xnv-l66bt that has got built im tomtom map and find it to be quite good. tomtom is the exact same as the actual units. the only thing letting it down is that menus are a bit basic but apart from that would recommend

if you want OEM then look at the RNS510. 30gb HDD, SD card slot, DVD player, Video in Motion (if enabled), Satnav with speed cameras etc. Looks the part in any MKV Golf.

If you have an iPhone pioneer do an app radio which is a cracking piece of kit and also gives excellent sound and increases the quality of sound from the stock speakers too as a bonus

RNS510 if you want full OEM integration, however the nav is lacking and you can't have audible speed camera warnings!!

I had a Zenec NC2010 also which offers very close to OEM integration, has Igo which takes TomTom mapping with good sound warnings. Integrated Parrot bluetooth and so on

Kenwood do a very nice mk5 based HU, and there are others, it all depends on your aims & sound quality requirements.

I would always recommend the Alpine, from a sound quality point of view and expandability point of view. I will be replacing my RNS soon with the INE-W928R. Nothing like a good 8" screen to play with and perfect integration including display in the MFD.

That Alpine unit looks awesome , how much is that going to cost , and does it fit properly in a mk5?

Retail is around £1200 including the fitting kit for the Mk5 which is plug and play. I can probably do it for around £1000 or so. I would need to double check.

A lot of coin but it does look fantastic.

Another kenwood DNX520VBT HERE - fitted at crimbo & well impressed so far, garmin nav has been faultless as has the parrot Bluetooth and it sounds a thousand times better than stock.

Blimey, cheers for the replies. I refer the original/EOM look so I guess I'd go for the RNS510; would I have to get a bluetooth adapter to go with it? On the cheaper side, has anyone bought one of these off ebay?

That look's the dog's,I would be very interested in this as i'm not happy with the overall sound quality of the RNS510.

Yeah, doesn't include the fitting kit, so my price of £1000 seems to be the cheapest. :smiley:

And yeah, that is the price for the whole kit including the dash fitting kit which is all plug and play.

RNS510 as long as it is the version with full 7 digit postcodes otherwise its about as much use as a choccy fireguard!!.

Believe the Sony unit has Tomtom software which I believe is the best on the market (ETTO)
