NAV Systems
Excuse my ignorance of such things.
If I thought that I had little or no use for the mapping capabilities offered by these systems ... would there be a significant diference to me compairing the CD based to the DVD based sytems?
What other purpose (displaying audio, A/C, other systems info) does the screen tht dominates the consol provide?
Does the DVD system play MP3 where CD does not?
Can the DVD actually play a movie?
Could someone give me a run down on how they use their system?
Thanks

I don't have my SL600 yet so I am not sure of all it's capabilities but I do know that if you take out the DVD Nav disc, you can play a movie.

A couple of other questions:
- I read someone was waiting in their SL and watching TV on the consol monitor. Is that capability standard?
- the Sirius Antenna is for better audio reception or TV?

Yup, you can play CD's and DVD's in the console. DVD picture quality is pretty good but disappears over 5kph though. TV picture quality is dependant on nearest transmitter so picture and sound can disappear. I can get the unit sent away to enable watching on the move for around £300. Still thinking about it.
Screen changes when using audio, video, telephone, map.
