Latest sat nav software and maps update for 2007 V8 Vantage

[Bobajobbob]

Hi all, I was hoping that someone could confirm the latest Volvo DVD upgrade that can be used to upgrade both the software and the maps of a 2007 V8 Vantage using the DVD based sat nav system?

I've been looking on ebay to try and pick up an up to date set of discs but it would be reassuring to hear that someone has already updated to a specific disc set.

thanks

Oh dear, they never learn. If you are driving from France to Germany there is no common disc. You have to change from DVD 1 to DVD 2 at the border and re- programme the satnav. Thank goodness I have moved on to a Porsche system.

Oh thank goodness! How would you ever cope?

Bobajob, did that Volvo upgrade work? I have the same requirement. Thanks

[Bobajobbob]

Yes it did. It only took 10 minutes or so and I now have, for what it is worth full postcode support and 2015 maps. I'm not sure what else has changed, if anything as I only occasionally use the satnav as it still doesn't appear to list speed cameras.

[RaysTR]

Thanks for that.

[RaysTR]

Thanks for that.

Updated mine last year and spent the last 2 weeks testing it in Spain, despite what people on here say about aston sat navs it did the job no problem, Neil

[RaysTR]

Paid £27 inc delivery but happy with that, so long as it works.

Hi - has anyone bought the ones advertised on Fleabay?

[Bobajobbob]

Mine came from eBay. You can see the seller in the link above.

....And I assume they work ok?

[Bobajobbob]

Absolutely fine. Just be careful to buy the right discs for your unit depending on whether you have the disc based or hard drive based system.

[Bobajobbob]

For the disc based system the important detail was RTI P2001/MMM Europe.

[Bobajobbob]

To whomever removed my eBay link above due to a concern over 'pirate' material I can reassure you that the discs are 100% genuine. Used yes but not counterfeit. If I can be bothered I will post some photos later.

If you'd rather pay full price for brand new discs from Volvo then go for it but frankly I don't think they are worth it when the system is now obsolete and original disks can be found for next to nothing on eBay.

I wonder if someone with the 2015 discs would be kind enough to do me favour, I updated my disc’s a few years ago but the post code coverage up my neck of the woods is useless, if someone could try my postcode and let me know if it’s covered it would be much appreciated. Post code is DD8 2SR. Thanks.

[RaysTR]

Just installed the 2015 (Volvo) maps and your postcode is not available, that's odd.

Go to enter the address and postcode box is to the right
