sensus not woeking

[games133]

hi i biught a xc60 on saturday and the vav not working. when i poress the nav button all it says is
for activation or subscription please contact your local dealer. ive rang my local dealer and waiting for a call back but thought id ask you lot someone might of had this at somepoint.

im hoping it just need the maps loading on to the satnav whitch ive been trying to do but says its going to take 1.40. ive got no bar to indetake how far it is or anythink

thanks in advance

Your car does not have the navigation software activated because the original purchaser did not specify it. The Nav button on the dash and all of the other associated hardware will however be fitted to the car. You will need to find out from your local dealer what the charge is for activating the Nav system. If the organisation/individual you bought the car from claimed that it had satellite navigation you have been misled.

I've just had phone back from my local dealer and they quoting £700 for the software to be installed. Whitch I think is a hell of a lot. Dose anyone know if I vida on the car it would install or activate the software?

£700 are they having a laugh,
sorry to jump in,i too am having problems with the sensor and they are trying to tell me if its soft ware its £90 to look at it,i am waiting for a return phone call ?

ive been on the phone to pce in northamptom ( the person who dose the vin reg checks give me there number) and they are quoting me £25 for the update weather its with them 3 hours or 25 min. whitch i think not bad at all. even if i have drive 200 mile there and back with a cost of £80 for fuel still £600 odd saving.

what my loca volvo dealer is saying i havnt had the satnav softwear install on my xc60 from the factory and to install it is going to cost £700

So yours isn't a Nav model?

That sounds like an unbelievable bargain! Hopefully there's not been a misunderstanding and it's the update for sat nav user updates they're doing?

it has the nav button but what my local dealer and what others are saying is completly diffrent. all i kow is what it says when i press the nav button.

some say its a £25 pound update. one says its £700 for the mapsoftwear and patech

update no 3
ive now managed the car to start the nav update whitch it wouldnt do before only thing ive done is plug vida into the car and run it. going wait and cee if it works. local volvo dealer said it might ask for a pin if thats the case then they want £756 for a pin from volvo lol

The update has completed. The satnav still don't work. So my next thing is the maps help on the CD drive or dose it have a different box. You can buy a CD drive from Ebay for about £100 or so. But starting wondering weather it's worth it.

get yourself a sat nav from halfords,theirs some good buys.
