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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
