Satnav handbooks
Discussion
Help me from insanity please.... tall order...
I'm looking for a satnav (multimedia) handbook for a 2010 car (LP550-2), but all the copies I see on sale (eBay or Lambostuff etc) seem to refer to a 2006 dated book.
Now I've got a manual for a 2007 car, but I know the later cars (LP's) have an 'improved' satnav system (I've had 2 2007 Spyders, a 2012 Spyder and now the LP550-2 coupe).
What I don't know is whether there's a different handbook for later cars.
Any advise gratefully received (other than the obvious one, which is to ditch the Audi system anyway and put in an Alpine or Pioneer system that works a lot better...I'm keeping the car original).
Thanks.

I can't help with the manual, sorry, but does the Audi MMI in the LP actually look different to pre-LP?
I've had 3 cars with MMI and they all seem to work the same. What exactly do you need to look up in the manual? I've always found them intuitive to use albeit functionally worse than your average smartphone satnav.

Thanks for your post.
The units in the Gallardo's physically look the same, whether 2007 or 2012 cars.
My recollection is that the screen graphics are a lot better in later cars, plus details such as petrol stations (tells you the supplier if a major like Total, BP, Shell etc.).
Whether the functionality is any different I can't recall, but probably not.
A lot of people diss the unit, but actually with use it become quite OK to use, and only occasionally has it screwed up directions.
I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that the handbook will be the same for whatever vintage of car.
I will say that I like the look of the new replacement satnav you can buy as a retrofit...yours for only £1950 plus fitting at your friendly Lambo dealer.
But even if I replaced the Audi unit I'd keep it for re-installing later to be able to return the car to standard come sale time.
Same reason for wanting a copy of the handbook really... nice to have a complete set of manuals in the wallet.
But for what some people want on e-Bay, forget it!
Thank again.
