August 14, 2007: Nav System
Just got my car with all-season tires and also managed to avoid getting the $1,800 nav system. Had VW put in a VW iPod adaptor in the glove box for $294 instead. For those of you who aren't aware of it, the nav system, in addition to having only one CD slot, is also incompatible with mp3 files. If you like to burn mp3 CDs, you will not be able to play them in the nav system. Also, the iPod adaptor in the center console that comes with the nav system also eliminates the port that could be used for an external CD changer, so you're stuck with only one CD slot forever. If you really don't need or want the nav, try to find a car without it and save the money for some mods.
