Electronics » Nav 5 cradle quandary

I was / am doing a European tour come September preferably on the RS but I may have go in the car due to a neck injury. My quandary is if I have to use my car (Audi A4 2008) which has a long out of date dvd based sat nav do I

1. Buy a BMW Nav 5 car cradle kit which is quite expensive for what it is.
2. Try and obtain a cheap up to date dvd for the Audi as the genuine Audi items are expensive.
3. Put off tour and see if neck gets better so I can ride the RS although it is still painful driving the car.

What would you do ?

You can buy a Garmin Nuvi or Drive with lifetime maps for less than $100 US.

"1. Buy a BMW Nav 5 car cradle kit which is quite expensive for what it is."

Check out eBay item 132660559334. Zumo 660 car mount and cable. That will work with your Nav 5, and cheaper than buying another sat-nav.

Hi,
Not quite sure what you are asking but I have the 2017 RS Sport SE with sat nav but I may need to use the Nav 5 in my car as trying to find the correct update dvd for my year of car is proving difficult unless I pay Audi prices.

I thought you were looking a cradle. Some of us, have spares.

I’d buy one of the older Zumo 660 models that’s cluttering up my den, which has 2018 maps and a car mount and go forth.

Or, as above, pop along to your local retailer and just buy a car device. Garmin or TomTom depending on your bias.

BTW - my car has a built in up to date GPS, but I always use my 6” Garmin device stuck to the screen, because it has so much more functionality and user-friendliness than the built in car unit.

- shows me speed
- shows me lots of other handy trip data
- let’s me plan trips on my PC and download post-trip data
- is easier to read on the move
- leaves my dashboard unit free to handle & display everything else except SatNav, especially my music

I don't think the Garmin 660 cradle has a speaker.
