About to order new Leon, couple q's, does the sat nav play dvds etc..

[ph1l]

Hi All,

I hope ive got this in the right place, apologies if it should be somewhere else, 1st post!

Im just about to order a new Leon, i think im gonna go for the FR TDI and then get a blufin for it so its quicker than the Focus ST i have now (which is CRAP! Should have stuck with the Leon i had before!) and still give decent fuel consumption.

Anyway, i think most of my questions have been answered by the other posts on here, but i just want to know if the Sat Nav option will play DVDs/TV and if it can be added. All i can see is a bluetooth or not bluetooth option but ive seen mention of it playing DVDs when the car is stopped?
Can it get traffic updates and how do you update the maps?

Is there anything else i should opt for or know?

I had a Leon TDI Sport before (MK2) so i know pretty much what to expect, but i leased that and im gonna buy this one so want to get it right!

The bits i want are:
Black Metallic
18" Wheels
Convenience pack
Sunroof
Sat Nav with Bluetooth
and the iPod connection (will this work with an iPhone?)

I havent been to a dealer in a long while, im configuring the car online with a company that been reccomended and the price is £19256.99 compared to the Seat site that seems pretty good and better than the dealer could do when i called.


Any comments would be very gratefully received!

Yes, the Sat Nav can play DVD's , yes it does get traffic updates and it can dynamically route you around traffic problems.

Cool thats the most important bit! Thanks for your help.

leather seats would be good remember times are hard for all stelers so ask for free upgrades . .

worse thay can do is say no ..

sounds like i did a good job not going for a st as i did look at them but thought narrrrrrr seat tdi sports better ..


good luck with sorting one out

there may be a few helpful users that frequent scn that may help with map updates, eh nick .

dont know if the ipod adaptor has the 'shims' for the iphone as yet. you wont need it anyway if your getting the sat nav, you'll have around 20gig for your favourite tunes, and it will be a damn site easier to navigate the menu's too.

ive also got the bluetooth, sunroof, and convenience options and would order them again if i was to order another leon.

hope this helps.

Winter Pack - I find the cabin can take a while to warm up on cold mornings, but the heated seats more than make up for that. Would definitely hate to be without them.

Are you sure it can play DVDs? Even while the car is moving?

you need a separate adaptor to overcome the cars speed signal.

i have one for sale if your interested

I would recommend Bi-Xenons, the amount of people on here wish they had ordered them with their car as they are truly a good buy! Unless you're looking at the FR+ which I believe comes with them

lol 2008? i think the sat-navs have changed since, i know my new one cant play DVDs at all...

 

[rllmuk]

Yes this is about the Seat derived RNS510.

Move along...

My uncle has a cupra r and he says the sat nav is rubbish! An option he should of saved his money on!!! He thought it would be the same set up as his passat cc (company car) but its not a patch on it.
