if i didnt have to change the rnse id get one but no point as i dont really like that the unit doesnt have full post code

on a plus i do have bluetooth phone, bluetooth music, controlled by phone, reverse cam, aux in, and changer but i think it needs to go,

pioneer have some app radios that look interesting and you can connect anything to aftermarket units without the pain

If this VAG head unit works, surely a smart phone with Google Maps allows post code sat nav anyway?

But only a few aftermarket units display radio data in the DIS and none display navigation data in the DIS, so you'll always end up with a blank area in the DIS - which I personally hate so it has to be OE for me.

I know lots of people complain about the lack of full postcode entry, but TBH even on smartphone nav apps I never use it so I don't see the lack of it as a problem - anyway full postcode entry isn't accurate, when I enter the full postcode for home or work onto Google maps on my PC or the apps on my iPhone it's several hundred metres out!

Also having experienced an aftermarket head unit when I first bought this cabby , the functionality is endless BUT to be able to use it when DRIVING, I.e when your attention is on the road, their ergonomics and ease of use was left far from wanting

This is where the OEM comes into it's own as it's been specifically designed to be of use whilst driving

I know what you mean about the dis I still want it to be able to have track display on there, MikeFish has. Not fussed about the navigation display on there as I didn't really use it anyway, looks cool tho.
