I'm struggling here...

It's a 6? inch lcd screen. It lives in your car. It doesn't make it go faster, or drive better. It plays the same satnav discs, but with a "better synthesised voice". It plays music somewhat better than the previous incarnation, or the cheap head unit that normally comes in Skodas. You like the sound better than your home stereo. Do you go and sit in your car to listen to music in the evenings? It plays DVDs. We all know you can't, or shouldn't, or wouldn't want to, watch DVDs in the car while you're driving, which, IMHO, a car is for...

It costs at LEAST 1.5k pounds! :eek: Let me tell you, you can buy a pretty nice stereo for the lounge for that money, and you can sit indoors in the warm, with the light on, to listen to the music.

What am I missing... ? :confused:

the point......

Care to explain what it is, then?

****** it won`t fit in my furby SE :weeping: , that would of made it extra special :pimp: !!!

So will the MDF2 fit in my fabia vRS SE????

or what is the ALTERNATIVE to a MDF3?!?!?

:drool: :bowdown: :banghead:

Also looks more attractive to the thieving scum

Nick, It doesn't use the DX mapping that the MFD and MFD2 use. Maps are Navteq, TMC is now fully covered for all roads.

The unit is made by VDO.

Stu, do you have enhanced phone control via bluetooth like we can see on pics?

Not at the moment Andrey but I am looking into it.

The unit is made by VDO.

They make Vauxhall's "ch av" range of stereos

Managed to get a few pics of the Navigation working with my Mobile so not too great but you'll get the idea -

ah has TMC!! quick one does the mdf2 have TMC?

ah has TMC!! quick one does the mdf2 have TMC?

Yes if you buy the correct TMC enabled disk. The unit can't do it without the right disk.

Cheers Ian, i better start saving, who's getting a mfd3 and want to donate their mfd2 to me

Before you get too excited TMC on the MFD2 is only M/ways.

:( no way to fool it then?

dammit, theres another reason for me to upgrade once the mfd3 becomes available

Cheers Ian, i better start saving, who's getting a mfd3 and want to donate their mfd2 to me

Maybe in the new year, if you donate a couple of hundred quid to me in return

ill have to see what the second hand market rate is by then mate might be just as cheap to get a mfd3

What about parking distance control, Stu? It is seems, that there are no graphics on display , but does it decrease volume of sound when you activate the rear gear like Stream Unit?

And can you make a night pictures with buttons illumination etc?

I've not got anything like the visual display with the Stream but there is a coding option in VAG-COM to monitor the input from reverse. It's still early days for VAG-COM, the guys at RossTech are working to implement some new things that will support the RNS510.

It would be good to get a look at a Factory Fit one and see what it's coded to.

Thats something I wouldnt want to loose tbh - if it gets worked out however Im up for an MFD3

You won't miss the PDC graphics for long.

I did however raise the pitch of the PDC beeps because it was hard to distinguish over the radio at times.

You won't miss the PDC graphics for long.

Yep it all blends into insignificance when you can see who's calling, dial your phone numbers and search your contacts via the touch screen :P;)

Stu, it is clear, that we loose graffic from parking distance sensors, but does it even decrease volume of a music when you activate the rear gear? It must be an a settings like in Stream unit.

Yes it seems that way Andrey.

I've been doing some more digging around and it seems that the reverse gear input is to activate the rear veiw camera display - Therefore you wouldn't need graphics.

..hmm so we need a retrofit rear camera buy in then?
