What navigation system is best for Lavida?
2 Answers
It is recommended to choose navigation devices from Siemens and Desay SV. Below is the relevant introduction for the Volkswagen Lavida: Appearance: From the exterior, apart from the VW logo on the front grille, it is hard to see the traditional, conservative Volkswagen design in the Lavida. The breakthrough in the appearance of the Shanghai Volkswagen Lavida can also be seen as the beginning of Shanghai Volkswagen's product transformation. In-car Navigation: The Lavida's in-car navigation system combines a touch screen with rotary knob controls and features MP3 playback capability, along with USB, AUX, and SD card expansion slots. It is user-friendly and powerful, with a foldable LCD screen design.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida for five years, and the navigation system has been an essential companion. The factory-installed navigation was quite user-friendly but had slow updates and required spending a few hundred yuan at the dealership for upgrades. So, I switched to an aftermarket Garmin DriveSmart 55 navigation device, which supports Bluetooth connectivity for playing music from my phone and voice navigation. The maps update automatically via Wi-Fi, avoiding congested routes, making it much more hassle-free. If you use an iPhone, installing a CarPlay-compatible head unit and plugging in the data cable instantly projects Apple Maps onto the screen. The speed display is clear, and the operation is as simple and smooth as using a smartphone. I recommend choosing a reputable third-party brand product on Taobao or JD.com, priced under 1,000 yuan, and having it installed by a professional shop to prevent messy wiring that could affect other in-car functions. The key to navigation is flexibility, practicality, and fast updates—ensuring you never get lost, even on long trips.
