Which Sat Nav System to Buy

Hi all,
Before i start a bit of background – bought a 2006 Audi 2.0 T FSI S-Line a few days ago and love it. I am pretty useless when it comes to fitting in parts / modding etc but I really want to do a few updates to it.

I have been reading on this forum for the last few days and i cannot find any direct feeds but forgive me if I’ve missed anything.

I would like to purchase a sat nav / mp3 system for my car, as the inside of the car is pretty basic and the mrs would like inbuilt sat-nav like her previous car. I’ve seen a few RNS-E on the net but not sure about them, so thought I would ask the experts.

What do you guys think of the attached links.

There are a few others but am not sure how old these systems are.

Can you recommend any double din systems if you do not approve of the links. I would prefer 1 if it could play TV too but I know this could be asking too much of a price budget of around £300-£400, pushing it to £500.

I live in derby, so if you know of any shops nearby that would supply and fit that would be great.

The current system is Audi sympathy

Cheeky i know but can anyone tell me how to get the phone kit working. I have attached picture of my centre unit. I have a phone holder but i cannot find any articles on how to get my phone working in it.

Thanks in advance.

Great. Thanks for the help.

Yes 800 is out of the question.

Well the rnse seems like the best option. Only question is where can I get a rnse from and what price can I expect. I understand that they will increase the value of the car.

Can anyone confirm if they will play tv

for some reason my pic didnt load. It asks for url for pic but I have the pic saved on my computer. Any ideas. Am I pressin the wrong button. The pic was regarding the phone holder

thanks for all the help again guys. i wrote my recent post from my tiny smart phone hence the double post.

I think i will opt for RNS-E. Triple OG is right, they will look the part and come at a decent price

Ive seen a few on Ebay and they look in better condition then the previous version i posted. I have attached the links below, so your feedback would appreciated. The 2nd link seems the best bet. Looks in good condition / comes with warranty and has sold a few of the systems to other buyers with all good feedback. I understand its my final decision but input would be great.
