SAT NAV Disc Upgrade - Australia

[Crazy_Sean]

Hey All Australians (and anyone else who is knowledgeable about these matters)

Anyone found a good way of updating the SAT NAV disc in the cars? I found a place online but they wanted $850. The Europeans have all sorts of online suppliers who they them discs to update.

Before anyone says it...... yes I know the system is not the best, but even so I'd like an updated disc. I live in a new(ish) suburb and the sav nav thinks my house is in a field.

Me too!

We need to know which system you have first.

I've used this for my 2010 Vantage.

It's still a few years old now.

OK well I have a DB9 2008 model. The disc is under the passenger rear seat. I've taken the disc out and it looks like this:

From the pic of your car on the other thread, you have an 08MY09 car? For an MY09 you will have the DVD based system. Go to www.volvocars.com/navi pretend for a minute you have a Volvo XC90 MY07- buy dvd, insert into aston martin, follow instructions on satnav screen. Job done.

Thanks - Appreciate the help. I'll try it - will purchase an Australian region disc today.

..or you could do what I do now, and download the WAZE app to your phone and never use the Aston satnav again. WAZE dynamically reroutes you around heavy traffic and notifies you of radar traps...just saying..

So the disc arrived. As you guy outlined I put it in and followed the instructions. So, yes, there are a few extra places but all in all its a terrible sat nav. My BMW one before this was awesome in comparison.

The Aston Martin logo has even been updated. Pretty cool.

No one will deny that!

I can thoroughly recommend a HDMI Mirroring Kit, which as it says simply mirrors your smartphone screen (Android & iOS) on your sat nav screen. Sound is output via the phone speaker or via BT if you have it. It gives you the ability to use any app you favour. I use Wase via this method & it's a revelation! I think the kits are available in most countries.
