I got my new RNS-E last night from Zawa - what a great mod
Before:

In addition to the better resolution of the screen,
I swear that the sound is different and better when I play music via FM. Waiting on my 32SDHC new flash cards so I can test out the system better.
The new 3D option on the nav is great, as well as the automatic traffic rerouting:

I thought mine did 3D. Or maybe I'm confusing it with the Q5. Just the speed improvement would be worth the upgrade. It's so slow to calculate a route!

Yeah -the Q5 does great 3D and the RNS-E is not as good but better than the old RNS-E. Lots of subtle improvements but not as great as our Q5. But on the other hand the free road hazard and redirection is great vs the pay for it with Sirius with the Q5

BTW I have been told that the 011' Q5 nav update uses two sd cards one with the data and one with the pin.
The cost is supposed to be US$325. That is just unmoral.

I too got the 2010+ RNS-E from ZAWA about two months ago. I am personally happy with the updates/upgrades. I am also especially happy with the transaction I had with ZAWA. Very thorough and complete.
I also decided to do away with a DICE type IPOD integration module and have switched over to the AMI + Kufatec interface. This of course results in removal of the CD changer, but that is ok since with the DICE type interface, it effectively disabled usage of the CD changer anyway. I couldn't be happier with the IPOD controls. So, so much better.

Thinking about doing this since my Sirius module just crapped out and the dealer wants $600 for a new one. I prefer finding a Pandora solution anyway. Does the AMI + Kufatec allow streaming?
