Sat nav Update info

[Rusty2009]

Sat Nav update discs.
When purchased they are sold as Hardware and Software.
The hardware is the update of the Sat Nav, A New Firmware version.
The Software is the Map Program itself.
How to install a Map Update (The manual isn't clear on this and no instructions are given with the disc)

1. Insert the New Map CD into the CD player.
2. The screen will show that there's an update for the firmware.
3. Click Install.
4. It will ask if you wish to over write the Flash in the memory, click okay to do this.
5. Once the update has done (about 3-4mins) the system will reset itself.
6. Once it's reset, click the Config Button on the system, scroll down to Navigation Options.
7. Click "Map data Add/Remove.
8. Scroll down to select your update (uk, Europe, etc etc)
9. Scroll up to the install tab and click on it.
10. The software tells you it will take so long to install. (Mine took 21mins)
11. Install has completed

These instructions were produced when updating a CD500, other systems may vary from word to word. (CD 500 uses an Update Disc and not a SD card)


Built in sat nav updates, these are the people that sell them, they used to be called NAVTECH but there now HERE. Just need your year and model of system then it will show you if there's an update disc/SD card for your sat nav.
(This is who Vauxhall use to get map updates and discs from)
