How to upgrade my 2014 V8 Vantage S Navigation?

[HashimAzzouz]

Hi there..

I keep receiving this message on my SatNav screen when I start the car that I need to upgrade my system..

Checked with the dealer and found out that I need like a thousand pounds to do so..

Then one of the engineers told me that I can find the update online.. and he gave me this part number CG43-10E898-GH..

I have few questions:

1. Is our sat nav a Garmin?
2. If so, do I have to order CD, DVD, HDD, SD?
3. Where is it located?
4. Did a bit of research & i reached to this link: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/73267

Of course, I'm looking for Middle East maps..

Thank yu all for your help..

Welcome to the forum. Yes you will have a Garmin sat nav in your car. Obviously the easiest option is to ignore the message and stick with the current maps,( I upgraded and didn't see any difference) you can go into settings in the sat nav and check the date of the maps (settings, maps then info at the bottom of the screen).If you want to upgrade then it's an sd card which is around £110 in the UK so I'm not sure why it would be so expensive in the Middle East. The installation is no more than putting the card in the slot, no point in paying to have that done. I was told by Garmin that I could only buy the card from Aston as that was the deal between the two companies.
Hopefully the diagram from a previous topic on the forum will be self explanatory.

Sorry to crash the topic, but is it possible to alter the scale on the sat nav map screen, i just cant see how to do it?

thank you all.. think I will stick to what I have already and keep ignoring the message..

As for altering your route, think yea it is possible. Usually it will do it by t's own if the road is having much traffic and take you to a better/faster route.

If you are talking about a new destination, then I think you have to cancel the curretn one, and just make a new trip plan/route all over..

Cheers

I don't think you can alter the scale which is programmed into the route plan and adjusts automatically. You can zoom in and out by turning the joystick or using the rocker switch on the back left of the steering wheel but I guess you know that already.

DocW, thanks for clearing that up.

I learned what DocW just pointed out about 2 weeks before the car became yours

Hope you're enjoying it... miss it!

Hi AOK, Yes its been great but a little under used so far, only managed about 1100 miles since I bought it, what are you running now then?

This thread....:

...has details on how to update your Garmin maps using a readily-available Garmin SD card. I've used the recommendedEuropean SD card to upgrade the maps in my 2014 Vantage. Once installed, there is a new option in Settings | Maps | Info that allows you to select which maps you want to use - the one's installed originally, or the ones on the new card.

Handtec (the supplier recommended in the thread linked above) is now listing a Garmin SD card for Middle East, that's 'Due in soon', for £71.88:

Hopefully this should do what you need.

Good to hear! I'd happily taken it down to the Alps again for you if you need some miles put on it!

Still waiting on its bigger brother to arrive... waiting and waiting and waiting... AM should be ashamed of themselves - I was originally told "end of 2016, start of 2017".

Anyway, bought a 991 GTS in the interim which has been one of the best cars I've owned, despite only having 2 pedals.
