Navteq update

[scotgc]

Received the first of my free updates yesterday, did'nt realise there are four CD's! Hopefully they will be easy to install, I'm assuming that there won't be any difference visually?

How long have you had the car? I have now had it 13, coming on 14 months and yet no updates

BTW, you will only need one disc in the unit in the boot, you should have received a pack with the other 3 discs from your dealer when you purchased the car.

It's a 2010 model registered in May this year, I was a bit surprised to get an update this early myself. There are four CD's (one for the UK) covering the whole of Europe not much in the way of instructions mind you. Not had a chance to really look at it so far but might have a go at installing it tomorrow.

Hi mate, would be interested to know what the release, version or part number is so can compare. Would also be interested to learn if the graphics are any different. Please let us know idc.

I would think it is just a case of ejecting the DVD/CD from the reader and replacing with the new one?

are these just for UK/Europe as we dont get updates for our satnav over here in Australia.

Hi, The updates I received cover Europe only, not sure if Navteq cover Australia although if you currently have navigation someone must have created the softwear. I got all the paperwork and contacts with the documentation that came with the car.

Not for Australia.
Here's the reply I got from Volvo Australia.

so they want us to buy the update from volvo ?

Does seem a bit stingy of Volvo Australia not to give you the updates. Lets not forget this is a premium car which has a premium price tag RTI which can be out date within 6 months depending when you got the car and they release an update. I'm sure some will turn up on ebay genuine or not
