New Seat sat-nav rolled-out

Seat is making a new, state-of-the-art multimedia navigation system available across the bulk of its model range.

While the new model features cutting-edge technology and improved functionality, the system comes with an identical price tag to the outgoing device.

The new DVD-based technology, which also includes a massive 30GB hard-disk, costs £1,595 - exactly the same as the previous CD-based system.

SEAT explains equipment comes equipped with a new touch-screen Siemens device, with mapping data from respected industry name Navteq.

The device can double as a smart CD/DVD player capable of handling numerous audio file formats including CD-A, MP3, WAV and WMA.

Additionally it can read from most mainstream media types such as CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW.

"There are so many clear advantages to this technology," said Gary Wells, Seat head of aftersales.

"The hard disk drive brings with it amazing storage capacity meaning scores of files, music or otherwise, can be stored and accessed.

"It's easily the most flexible, user-friendly and clear system we have ever offered and the price makes it one of the most competitive factory-fit devices around."

The new system is available to order now as an option on all Leon, Altea, Altea XL, Altea Freetrack 4 and Toledo models.
