Hi folks,

Anyone think the satnav is an unnecessary extra £750 on a new vRS (coz I'd contemplate maybe giving it back to have the spoiler removed)?

:peek:

At £750 seems quite-a-lot of money just for a satnav, surely that can't be right?? 

I'm speccing the car using buy a car online and the "Amundsen touch screen nav system" (cf Octavia brochure) is £755 (standard fit in Elegance, Scout and L&K versions). vRS must have SD card- ready set up, I imagine.

I made the grave error of opting for an Amudsen+ in my pre-facelift YETI at a cost then of £535.  I had 3 years warranty with a  3 years service plan. I wrongly presumed that Updates for the Sat Nav would be free of charge for the 3 years. Wrong.  The yearly updates cost around £220.  All in all a very expensive Sat Nav. 

 

I should have saved more than a few quid and stuck with the Tom Tom (Free updates etc).

 

I complained to Skoda UK, that none of their brochures mentioned the cost or availability of updates. They didn't want to know.

 

Just my own experience/opinion.
