Hi, thanks, good to hear there may yet be reason to have hope. I wonder what made them change their mind about the p2001 system.
Volvo Mapcare were certainly useless. As you can see above, just a buck-passing generic reply. To be fair to Volvo UK, although Ms Rhodes didn't have an answer for me, she initially seemed willing to make some more enquiries, but then declined to do so because my car is registered abroad. Don't really see what that has to do with the price of fish, as this issue must concern thousands of us the world over. My UK home is not 20 miles from her office! Perhaps just a convenient way to get rid of me. I've come to see customer services departments as a "human shield" - i.e. you get a real human to talk to, but their ultimate purpose is just to shield the company from its annoying customers |

It is ironic the MMM RTI in the older P2 models have more up-to-date discs than those available in the MMM2 system in the P3 models.
I've been told by my sources in the local Volvo parts dept that the whole Volvo Mapcare program for these cars became a shambles after the mapping provider was sold off. As a consequence no updates have been produced since... Perhaps Clan can verify if this was indeed true. Needless to say I'm frustrated by this and should have held out for the 2012 model year,

Personally, I'm inclined to say that the timing tells a rather different story, i.e. that abandoning MMM2 in 2013 (with the 2013w20 update) was a planned move: 2011 - Last cars with MMM2. RTI satnav option sold to MY11 owners with a promise of 2 free updates. 2012 - New sensus system launched, superseding MMM2. 2012 - Free update No. 1 for MY11 owners with MMM2. 2013 - Free update No. 2 for MY11 owners with MMM2, and last *ever* "planned" update. When my MY11 car was sold, the roll-out of the new MY12 cars was already scheduled, presumably they were already in production. Plans for what to do with the older RTI systems after introducing sensus must already have been discussed. |

Hi,
It is a shame that these systems are all so "proprietary". Something based on a system that was a little more open would be easier for either Volvo or the customer to maintain and update. That would also endear their customers to them more readily for future sales etc.. but I am eternally optimistic!! Des. . .

Just seen this thread. That's not good news at all.
Do like the the inbuilt satnav. Used it to get to Wales back on the weekend, worked really well. Am at a Dealers in a few weeks so i think i push them for an answer as they have been helpful in the past. |

My guess is that someone in the Volvo management, somewhere, sometime, took a decision on this. I'd say if you want to get to the bottom of it, Ms Rhodes at Volvo UK might be the best chance. She seemed willing and able enough, but just won't talk to me personally because my car's registered abroad. My local dealer just says "Ah no naaaaahfin" They're still selling the 2013 set at the equivalent of £150, that's obviously the dealer's take on the matter. |

Map update is rumoured for Q3 2016...at which point I'll buy a disc from eBay.
The standard interface is pretty rubbish and the routing questionable. If I can get a disc from eBay I will, if not I won't lose any sleep over it.
