I'm currently keeping my eye on an MFD2 - price is OK now, but if it still will be when the auction ends I don't know.

Anyway, this unit comes with the GPS receiver, however it doesn't seem to come with the Sat Nav CD.

Can somebody point me at the exact CD I would need to purchase with this unit - where I can get it from etc?

Or just the price of the CD.

There is another auction going for a unit with CD - if the price of the CD makes it more expensive....you get the idea

Ta

The correct disks are not cheap to buy, and somewhere around £100 for the current one.

Which MFD2 are you going for, the CD based skoda one or a CD or DVD based VW one.

It's the DX type software by Blaupunkt that you will need, as Manny says they aren't cheap.

Well ...... to buy they are not cheap

LOL

I'm afraid I must ignore your little tease there

I am actually somebody who is totally against piracy of all types.

To give you an example - at home me and wife each have a desktop PC.

We allso own a laptop and I also have a server.

All 4 of these machines are 100% license legal on every single piece of software they run.

Right down to the 3 copies (server doesn't require) of WinZip I bought.

I don't allow pirate music or movies in the house, certainly don't download them.

I'm just totally anti-piracy.

I'm still up in the air at the moment as to which unit I'm looking to buy (thanks again Stu - your patience via PM is Legendary!)

I'm currently watching:

MFD2 - CD, Skoda Green, With everything - £300 + Delivery

MFD2 - CD, Skoda Green, GPS Receiver and that's all - Currently £92 + £45 Delivery (3 days to run)

MFD3 - VW Red and everything I need - Low price at moment, £25 Delivery, 3 days to run and 0 rated seller :(

MFD3 - VW Red and everything I need - Low price at moment, 4 days to run but trusted seller

I don't expect the MFD3's to remain near the prices they are and I can't really justify the £700 for one.

If I can get one at bargain price then I will, otherwise I shall probably stick to Skoda Green CD MFD2.

Has anyone here put a VW Red unit in their Skoda?

Does the red look silly with the rest of the illuminations in Green?

Does the VW logo on boot-up annoy you?

Has anybody looked at changing that Boot Logo? Being a PC man I know there will be a simple logo picture file somewhere.

If you buy an MFD2 which is stated as having an accompanying map I would suggest it is more than likely to be a CDR.

Thats a good point.

The seller in question is "Naviandbmwparts" and seems to have a good rating.

Picture "looks" like the real deal:

NEW 16:9 SKODA radionavigation RNS navi MFD2 from 2005 on eBay, also, Skoda, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 30-Sep-08 18:22:07 BST)

So possibly I could get this one for around £350 all in (assuming I managed to be the only bidder).

But I'm watching the two MFD3's as they finish before the above.

If it were me and I thought I could get a VW 510 for sub £500 then I'd far sooner do that than buy an MFD2 for £350 ish.

VW 510 Red for £500 or Skoda 510 Green for £700.

Both a lot more than I was going to spend on a MFD2.

However if I need to buy a new navigation CD for the MFD2 then that will be around the £300 - £350.

Can you still use the CD changer with the MFD3 - or are they assuming with SD and HD you won't really bother with CDs?

I'm assuming that a good percentage of the 30GB HD is available for use with MP3's - I put MP3's onto SD and then copy them to the HD?

The RNS510/Columbus will still retain the use of the CD changer and the Aux input.

It has a 30gb HD of which 20gb is free for music.

The MFD2 will require a CD in it to navigate, the RNS510 stores the maps on the HD so the DVD/CD slot is also free to use.

The Columbus has a massive map of a larger proportion of Europe installed with full TMC, the MFD2 only has whatever is on the disk ie UK and TMC only on motorways.
