Hi there,
About 3 weeks ago I picked up my 2011 Jetta SportWagen TDI from VW of Oakland (CA). Platinum Gray/Black, automatic, with panorama sunroof/wheels and cargo mat/cargo Legos. After one tank I got about 36 MPG doing mostly city driving, which beats the best milage I on a tank of gas I got out of my old Mazda 5.
I was trying to find a blue exterior/black interior with the Premium package, but they weren't able to find one, so I opted for my backup choice. I got it for $600 under invoice, and I love it, so I'm not going to complain. I do miss the built-in navigation, though.
I'm sorely tempted to upgrade to an RNS-510 and then sell the RCD-510 I have. Considering what the RNS-510 would add (navigation, built-in MDI, HD Radio, hard drive, nice integration with the MFD), and the fact that it seems to have way more features than the RNS-315 I would have gotten with the premium package, it seems like a good move.
I've seen lots of posts about how to change it out, so I'm not afraid of doing that. Reprogramming the VAG-COM looks easy, but I don't want to spend $300 on something I wouldn't use again. Has anyone had a dealer or other shop do it? Is this a common thing to do?
Thanks,
Scott K.
