Does the Streetpilot I3 work in a Mark 5 golf

[andyc111]

Hi all, first post so please be kind.
Anyway I've been looking for a Sat Nav system for a while and when I saw this and read the reviews I couldn't believe how good it looked.

My questions is:
I am getting a brand new VW Golf next week and apparently it has heat insulated glass so I wanted to know if it would work without having to buy an external arial? Is there somebody out there using this system in a golf? I have looked on the web for any info and the best I can find is that it won't work on some VW models (this doesn't really tell me alot)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

i have no experience re heat insulated glass only my 'quick clear front screen ' on my old mondeo which my gps worked.....i suggest contacting the various dealers that are selling the i3 and ask what their returns policy is...find one that will not quibble on a return and but it from there...or,buy the i3 and get an external antenna ....

I can confirm that the i3 works in a MKV Golf behind the windscreen. The 2004 / 2005 model Golf has a rear screen that will block GPS signals, the 2006 does not. The front on all MKV Golfs will not block signals.

Thanks for all your help guys, I'll be buying one once the new maps are out.
