Satnav
Hi all ..
I've got the chance of a genuine volvo sat nav unit ... how easily is it fitted and what's involved |

I honestly wouldn't bother.
The Volvo system is quite poor compared with many others like TomTom, or Wave etc. I've had the Volvo crapnav in both of my Mk1 XC90s and it's quite basic in comparison.

Nothing wrong with the old MK1 satnav - it is certainly better than the BMW satnav of the same vintage - remember, these cars are 10+ years old so expecting a 2020 piece of tech in a 2008 car is perhaps a bit unfeasible.
I have found my very reliable - they are easy to use once you work out the old clunky way of doing things. And updated maps to 2019. I meant to add though, fitting one in a car which wasn't specced I think is not straightforward and will need programming via a dealer. Something to do with the MOST system I think, but I am sure a boffin will come along and explain.

Condor, what disc did you use to update your maps?

After fitting, the car will need to be programmed by the dealer so that the car knows the nav is fitted and adapts it's internal communications accordingly.

Do some through research before you decide to retrofit.

Selling dealer supplied it with the car when I bought it September 2019- will check it when next in the car. I think it was an ebay job.
