Satnav traffic info
I have a 2011 XC70. I don't use its satnav because it is out of date and new map DVDs cost over £60. I have a very satisfactory Garmin connected to the 12V socket that suits me. When I power up it says that I have the wrong connection for traffic info. The Volvo satnav has a traffic info connection.
Do I need a different type of connector or is there a way to piggy back the in-car traffic info system? A slight irritation is that we occasionally knock the button that pushes up the in-car satnav. I would ideally like to be able to disconnect it. |

I also wouldn't pay for new discs, and on my my older Mercs and Seat I bought a "back-up" dvd from an ebay seller that was current. He had to call them "back-up" to get around copyright and piracy issues. Worth a googling, I think. And if you have a USB socket you can always download the latest maps from Volvo onto your PC and then update the car from that. It just takes about 2 hours.... |

try googling "updated sat nav dvd", or just search same on ebay.
I did this twice with my old E class, and paid about £20 rather than the official merc ones at £120+. They worked fine for me. My XC60 would take an update vis the USB connection, but I have to download from Volvo onto laptop, copy to USB, then upload from USB into car, and it's a 2-hour job. If there's an updated disc available from Volvo for your XC70, then there'll be one on ebay, I bet. If Volvo can't offer one, then there isn't one... |
