New VW MFD3 Satnav/DVD player/headunit Fitted

[big davey]

its alot of money for a headunit, but would be worth it. do you reckon you would get any of this back when you came to sell the car, i.e add any value????

 

[tommy-cupra]

I think if you will sell the car in future, you will get back 700 - 800 euro back if you sell the unit separetely.

I saw this action, but it was 2 months ago, nice price.

Yeah €800-850 is about right in my mind. The equivalent being approx.£625.

This one sold for €850 a fortnight ago.

This one is €870 including local postage with 6 hours to go

Around trade it time, in 3-4 years, it should add £200-300 to the car so I'd be losing about a ton a year at this price.

Hi leviathan18, you say that '07 cars with CAN bus 2.0 will have the CLOCK displayed wrong on the Dash MFD, but '08 cars with CAN bus 2.0 will show the clock correctly.

I wonder if this will help?

It says full MFD functionality is due in a few weeks.

MY2008 with Canbus 2.0

do these guys in spain post to the uk? Also this may sound thick....but if i remove my display i have at the mo to fit a sat nav , i take it the jeater controls etc display through the screen on the sat nav.....

 

[Rampage]

jeater?

If you mean the heater controls, then no, they stay where they are.

 

[leviathan18]

nick as i said, if you car is my2008 all will work perfectly, if you car is from april or may of 2007 your steering controls will work pefectly but the time will move to the right and dissapear one digit

 

[big davey]

im interested in this headunit but think the price is abit expensive. what makes this one so much better than the MFD2 one which it looks as though you can pick up for around £350 - £400?

 

[NickP]

ummm... let me see - touch display, 30 gb hard drive, you can play DVD's, can play music from memory card and will display artist/track info and then copy to hard disc if needed, all maps stored on Hard Disc so you can still play CD's whilst using Navi - and I'm sure theres alot more I've forgotten too...

 

[leviathan18]

yes you forgot the most important thing, is plug and play and everything works correctly and you wont have issues like if you with an aftermarket HU

The MFD2 is 'PnP' too. It is just the older, less functional model.

MFD3 / RNS510 adds:

1. DVD drive plays DVD Video whilst vehicle is stationary
2. Hard Disk drive storage (30 Gb) for maps and music storage.
3. Higher resolution display
4. (On VW version) SD card reader for mp3s / file transfer
5. Option of touch screen control

 

[big davey]

can you play dvds on the mfd2 one?

Do you know if this is for the VW version aswell
Thanks in advance

[chrisash32]

Cheers

The other thing that was mentioned on there is that you should be able to tell if your car is MY2007 or 2008 by checking the 10th digit of your chassis number and it will be a 7 or 8 - this should be the factor in whether you have Canbus 1.6 or 2.0

Thanks Nick, for all your research! guess Im gonna stick with my MFD2 as the 10th digit on chassis number is a big fat 7!!!

 

[RalphUp]

and if anyone is interested I have some MFD2 UK SAT NAV CD's available.
1 x 06-07 and 2 x 07-08. These are original Telemap CD's not copies!
They will work in any Blaupunkt DX unit.
PM me if your interested.

 

[darrellr]

can you play dvds on the mfd2 one?

If you add an extra DVD player and an interface box then yes but beware the resolution is quite low.

MFD2 - 400 x 234
MFD3 - 800 x 480
