I had Sat Nav in my previous Saab which I hardly ever used so I didn't order one for the A4 especially as £2000 seems extortionate for a system that does half of what many portable Sat Nav's do at 10th of the price.

Anyway last week I had to attend a party in the middle of nowhere so I got my Garmin out and was about to attach it to the windscreen when I discovered I could sit it in front of the MMI screen where the sucker makes good contact with the plastic base.

Fair enough you can’t see the MMI screen with the Garmin in place but it looks quite smart and for occasional use I think this is an ideal position, especially as the Garmin battery lasts about 2.5 hours, so no ungainly wires that often.
