Golf MK7 - Anyone "SEEN" the standard SAT NAV yet !!

[JDB007]

I have searched almost everywhere across the web (Europe - USA) etc. including German web sites for a picture of the Discover Navigation touch-screen navigation/radio system as stated within the current pricelist.
Every picture I have seen to date from hundreds I have trawled through shows the PRO system installed which is an additional cost (Option) of £1650.00 Are VW afraid of showing us the standard unit fitted to the GT version or is it me totally misunderstanding what I am reading

Anyone help ( ...again)


Thanks all

Yes, this is it here:


For anyone interested here are pictures of all the head units offered on the MK7 (although only Composition Media and upwards are applicable to the UK)

Hi J400uk

At last some visual identification and it solves the problem of possibly forking out £1650 for the DISCOVER PRO model.
The DISCOVER MEDIA which is the standard for the GT model looks fine and is almost the same size as fitted to my Vectra Elite.
The local VW dealer suggests that the new MK7 will be available to view sometime in December.

Thanks for a spot on reply

Good news if in showrooms in December. My local rep thought late January 2013.

Apart from the responses from J400UK and others ( ... thanks) take a look at the MK 7 brochure from VW Germany at the following
website (you'll need to brush up on your German) ....

Their brochure is far better detailed than the pre-launch UK version and shows the new sat nav stuff very clearly
The launch date here in the UK seems to be kept very quite (JANUARY ??) and I noticed thet the UK brochure has an additional Service and
Warranty offer which runs out in December !!!! - Mmmmm that's not a good start.

Enjoy.

Yeah VW UK basically don't know what they are selling! I've been surprised how much misinformation there has been around the MK7 launch. Hopefully all will become clear over the next couple of months...

VW UK screwed up on their pricing of the Discover Pro. The Discover Navigation is standard on the GT and not on the SE - it costs £735 on that. But the cost of the Discover Pro for the SE is £1690 and for the GT was £1650 which didn't make sense - VW has now dropped the Discover Pro upgrade on the GT to £1100 - still a lot of money but it has some logic to the SE pricing!

I agree with atjmoore that it is a great pity the 4motion seems not to be coming here. I note from the German brochure that the 4motion is available with both 105PS and 150PS diesels. How lucky are these Germans!?

Anyone know if the graphics are the same on both, don't mean the resolution but the way all the menus etc look?
