For all those with nav package, how do you find it from time perspective? Was it worth 3200$? Whats good and bad. Share some thought.

i like it. Seems to work a lot better than the high end gps models out on the market. i like it a lot better than the garmins, tom toms etc. Is it worth the $3200? thats your personal call. I still remember when we didn't have emails, cell phones, internet etc and we managed to get around.

Best Nav I've ever used. Graphics are incredible, the usability is fantastic. You get the rear camera as a bonus, your screen will be .5" larger and you get the colored DIS. It's worth it I think.

Hmmmm, got me thinking..... I ordered without navi package, but I think I have 2 weeks for any changes - after that it's done deal.

Think about it real hard. You don't want any regrets. I regret buying black instead of lava gray

Grab the phone and make the change! The nav. is amazing! Jokingly I asked the voice command for money and it guided me to the closest ATMIMO the nav is well worth the $$-u might regret not getting it. I never ordered the sline then switched it-sooo glad I did! Good luck with your decision.

Fantastic point. I totally forgot. The POI within this Navi is INCREDIBLE. The voice recognition is brilliantly designed. The G-force graphics card is smooth and flawless, the 3D buildings downtown and most of the US are very impressive. Most of all, the traffic information (if you subscribe to traffic) integrates beautifully with the maps. See my post here: https://www.audiforum.ca/q5-q7/51716...es-canada.html

I know it costs lots of money but there is a reason for it. Remember, with Navi you also get front parking sensors and rear camera as well the 2 SD slots. It's worth it.

If you're in the GTA area, Downtown Audi has a demo 2.0T with the Navi go have a look at it.

Make the call

I bought the Nav package for the parking assistance, more than the GPS navigation. It is my first SUV and certainly takes time to get used to. I figure one scratch on the vehicle (or others) worth the $3000.

No regret on this decision at all!!!

Thanks all for input, looks like everybody likes it, I hope it's not justified by bucks you spent on it.....
