Who does not have SAT Nav?

[wrekka]

Just out of interest was wondering how many other members do not have built in nav? I am one of them. Doesn't bother me as my car was just so nice that I couldn't turn it down!

I didn't until December when I fitted RNS-E
Like you, my car was MINT and had 1 doctor owner from new so it wasn't an issue to me.
However, as you do, to keep an interest in the car I hatched a plan to go from Concert single DIN to double DIN RNS-E and it worked out well.
Apart from nav, TMC function for traffic jams is great and the control of the CD changer and radio through the RNS-E is much nicer too and it makes the dash look a lot nicer.
But if I had to choose between an average car with Nav or a minter without ,it would be a no brainer..

Is it tricky to swap over?

Have you got a symphony double size stereo or a single CD concert?
I had Concert which made it much harder but I like a challenge, Symphony would have been too easy

I've got no Nav.
Had it in the A4 & really wanted it when I was looking for an RS, but my car had all the other spec I wanted, and I knew it wasn't impossible or expensive to retrofit so I went for it.
I use Co-Pilot on the iPhone which is a great wee Nav system, and cheap if you already have tha phone.

I didn't either then fitted the pioneer unit I posted pics off up on here it's been a great upgrade more for the iPod/iPhone use and the Bluetooth is superb on it

I deliberately bought mine without sat nav and spec'd the Symphony II - as I had an RNS-E already and knew from retrofitting one before that it's only about 30 minutes job.

Did the retrofit the day after I got the car.

I have Co Pilot 8 on my phone, which I use in my other car - but the RNS-E is a much better display and you can scroll out the map further which is great when you're looking for alternative routes.

Anyone know the difference in price selling on a car with Nav as against one without Satnav? I guess it wont be too much if anything...

[PetrolDave]

It doesn't affect the price , but a car without sat nav is harder to sell as most buyers expect a car like the RS4 to have sat nav.

So you don't get more money, but you get less hassle.

i would argue it does affect the price ... someone is always gonna barter you down on your non nav car for a couple of hundred quid, because it hasnt got the nav !

I know I would !

How do you scroll out the map further on the rs4's nav petrol Dave?

[HYFR]

turn the big knob

I got mine cheap because of no nav, or at least I think so, the red leather somewhat made it unclear as to what was affecting value. Def not condition

[HYFR]

anything where it shirks the market will affect price ... colour of car, colour of leather, no nav, no buckets, no fbsw etc etc

lol...
