Sat Navs tend to add ~£300 to sale value on average
Agree the base SD Nav can be got for an after discount £4-450.. so 300 on sale value equates to about £50 a year cost... Why bother with rubber suckers wires and chargers and all that faff!!

There's plenty of videos on YouTube of the nav .
Thanks for that really rather helpful advice
haha ok then stick to your really informative photo that will help make up your mind.

Jesus is it that hard to go on YouTube and type in Audi 8v sd nav.
Did you really require a link for me to be helpful?
Personally there is one reason why the TomTom or similar is better than the built in Sat Nav. The built-in one does not allow you to download and install your own POIs whether they are locations of interest or speed cameras. My own TomTom is used far more to warn me of speed camera locations that navigating from A to B.

Yes it does? With connect it does anyway...
Sorry to hijack this thread, but it is sat nav related. My order is as in my sig, technology pack with MMI Plus,will the Colour DIS come as standard with my car?
I put my iphone in a cup holder mount using Navigon so the instructions are sent via Bluetooth to the radio unit.
you can't see the wire but it's a bit of a pain if you look down to the map..
According to the latest Pricing and Spec Guide from Audi the Colour DIS is standard on the Sport, S-Line and S3.
I think this just comes for affordability.
If you can afford to spec this whether youll use it or not. get it! if like me this is a company car and you have to pay an extra £400 for a extra on a car i dont own, use a garmin! i brought one on ebay for £80 with digital traffic data, europe & lifetime updates.
would i prefer the integration? yes, do i want to blow £400? hell no!
Yes £400 extra is not that much but to get the same as my TomTom I would have to spent a further £1600 before I can get a system that I can add my own information and speed camera locations.
My problem is trusting a database of speed cameras... I'd much rather keep my eye on the road and look for the darned things than rely on a database.Why the obsession with speed camera locations? Would you normally speed when they're not around?
What to do has been well known since the 1940's. You tend to get the best overall safety, the smoothest traffic flow, the most appropriate choice of road types, etc. when limits are set at the 85th-90th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic.
Yes it costs but if you can afford it it's worth it. Could I get from a to b cheaper? Sure. As nice? No.

(Not specifically aimed at you, just curious why people in general need to know)
oh pleaseAs a law-abiding citizen surely you don't care about speed camera locations.
I sense those with Tom Toms are justifying having them because some have speed camera warnings. For those who are in the habit of driving too fast ( not to be encouraged) there are other products available which not only tell you about the permanent cameras but also mobile/ radar. In France such things are illegal but in Brittany I noticed that over 50 static cameras have been destroyed by vigilantes called chapeau rouge . Whilst most would agree their cars are crap I have to admire the French spirit when they think something is unfair!!
I must admit I am surprised that so few cameras get vandalised in this country. We have some many more than any other county to choose from.
As far as driving too fast is concerned Personally I never drive too fast - for the road and conditions, but that does not mean that I don't go faster than some arbitrary numerical number imposed by some local authority who is more interested in making money. When I was 'caught' recently doing 34mph on a stretch of road that should be at least 40mph ie wide, 3 lanes, wide verges, no junctions, no houses etc I was given the chance to take part in the latest money making exercise - a speed awareness course. These courses have only started since the camera partnerships were no longer allowed to keep the money from speeding fines. The fine has to be paid the central government so they now get round this by offering these courses, charging more than the fine and keeping all the cash. I told them I would rather the money went to the government than be used to finance more cameras and just paid the fine.
I went on one of those a few years ago. I found it quite funny and spent the afternoon finding holes, inaccuracies and misleading statements in their pre-prepared presentation. I think they were quite glad to see the back of me...I was given the chance to take part in the latest money making exercise - a speed awareness course.
There is no question - they ARE justified - but only in the right places. Unfortunately, there's a lot that are not in the right place....Whether, or whether not, speed camera's are justified,
