Do you mean RNS510?  Sat Nav etc?

Not quite plug and play, you'll need to install a GPS antenna (usually under the dash) and then do some coding with VCDS.

its a third party diagnostic tool. formerly known as vag com and its the best thing your going to get after the tool VW use in their workshops.

it is an invaluable tool if you mod cars like me and others like stu! ;)

Do you know where it could be got and at what sort of price? Is it simple to use?
