I took factory delivery of my coach and I would not accept the VDO gps system. I left with a Garmin GVN 52 that plays through the Aladdin system. My friend with an 08 Scepter received a credit from Monaco to change his VDO to a Garmin and we switched his out. Other than installing the roof antenna and running the wire down the A pillar it was just plug and play. GVN 52 has been updated to a GVN 53 now and is as low as $415.00 on line. It has an intuitive remote, and is super easy to use. An example is looking for a nearby campground. 5 ckicks of the remote and 7 seconds later up pop a list of campgrounds, by distance. Click on one and the phone number is listed if you wish to call, and one more click and up pops the directions. On mine I downloaded some custom POI's, Flying J's, WalMarts.etc. to a SD memory card, plugged it into the Garmin and saved them. An option now displays custom POI's that I can use to select which custom group I want to see.
So, if you can't get updates on the VDO, you now have an option.
