It's a small screen, you can only use it when parked, it's shit to try and use the I drive with.

Phone or tablet is better.

The new LCI cars only get 4G when Enhanced Bluetooth is specified along with Professional nav. I have internet on an LCI (3G); a phone/ tablet is much better. However, it sounds like the system is better than previously.

And it's £95 PER YEAR!

Nope definitely per year. Someone else on here actually got his lease company to refund him because they hadn't said it was per year!

And it doesn't include roaming when you drive into Europe.

Or will I get those as standard with the pro nav and bluetooth on a new 420D?

No, someone on here has an LCI without enhanced bt and he got an ota map update.

No, I get OTA updates on my Pro Nav without EBT.

It's the browser that's unusable. As nigh on the worst software I have ever seen. Imagine one of those crappy browsers that shipped on early smartphones and you're not far off.

Yep - that'll be me... Its a hefty price even if it was £95 for 3 years. Its rubbish. For example, you go to the BBC website, and it thinks you're abroad and therefore get a different version of the website.
