VXR8 sat nav

[Granby]

Anyone know where i might be able to get a more up to date sat nav disc (mines 2008), or maybe even download one to burn to disc

[r-kid]

They are not cheap, but I think this is the updated disc.

The cheap ones on eBay don't work by the way!

Is it possible to enable the sat nav on a 57 plate vxr8, or are these discs mentioned for later models?
I'm in the process of buying the car at the moment. The dash button didn't work and I think the manual says 'not installed'?

You would have to have the extra disc reader in the glove box. Just because there is a 'NAV' button on the unit, doesn't necessarily mean it has sat nav on the car (contrary to what some dealers put in their adverts).

As Ian said, and if you did want the factory sat nav it's silly money, a lot cheaper & better features from a sat nav app on your smartphone

Mine didn't have the SatNav installed, but for $400 I put in a VDO Drayton (uses iGo maps I think).

Doesn't use the screen or buttons, but has a remote control for it.

Now I have NAV when I push the button.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not really bothered about it as I don't use sat nav much anyway, just wondered if it was an easy/cheap thing to sort.
