Dec.2010 S80 D5 Lux 205
Has anyone heard about the Sat-nav of the above model now being unsupported by Volvo i.e. no map upgrade discs being produced, in other words Obsolete !!!
I contacted Volvo Sweden to ask what was happening and got a short reply saying that my enquiry was passed to the department concerned. Never expected Volvo to do anything like this particularly since the Sat-nav cost a fortune to add. |

I've recently received a disc from them for my '57 XC70. It's advertised as 2016 although the date on the map is 2015, but it's 8 years newer than the one it came with so I'm happy with it.

None of which excuses the lack of available new discs. Sadly the truth is that this didn't affect anyone that Volvo (or other car manufacturers) care about. They care about people who buy a new car every 1-3 years. They care about fleet buyers and lessors. They do not care about someone who bought a 5 year old second hand car that they happened to make. |

It doesn't negate the fact that a lot of us have obsolete satnavs with a poor user interface...but once you get over it you'll realise that a £100 TomTom with lifetime European map updates and significantly better real time traffic, touch screen and better route mapping, is a far better option.
I updated mine but it doesn't change the poor UI, rubbish routing and poor traffic updates...so I went back to my TomTom
