Where is the Sat Nav Module on 2017 Vantage Roadster
Discussion
Greetings
I have managed to obtain an updated SD card for the sat nav on my Vantage Roadster, but cannot find where to insert it (no remarks please).
Anyone have any idea of where the unit will be, on previous models it was under the tonneau cover only accessible when opening and then stopping the roof operation.
There is a box in the same place but states on the front do not remove, no visible SD slot?

I dont believe there is a SD slot on AMi III cars. Ive never heard of one and heard many people over the years state there isnt one.
As best I can tell the maps seem to auto update, but Im not sure how - over the air update tech maybe? Ive never noticed any issues with new roundabouts or roads, despite some of the roads I use deffo being newer than my car. Ive had many updates to the AMi III firmware over the years but never anything specific just for nav maps.

Your response makes sense the unit I detected is labelled infotainment system, I wonder if the maps are updated on each service.
Looking at Aston Martin works parts information they do state that the latest SD card includes 2017/2018 year Vantage.
I will do a bit more digging from one of the dealers to see if they can confirm, if not I will have a SD card going spare with the latest version of maps.

You were correct took some finding out even the dealer went to Gaydon.
On all Astons with AMiii the sat nav software should be updated at each service using the AMDS software.
Anyone want a SD card CG43-10E898-AL (still the latest one) as I will be placing on the For Sale bits under Aston Martin.
Edited to state that PH do not allow parts to be sold as from December 2022.
