The annoying error at an intersection near my home has been fixed, but when searching for Land Rover it still says Black Forest Land Rover is closest (has not existed for years) and Solitaire is still not on the Land Rover list. Solitaire at Mile End is listed for VW, Audi,and Aston Martin etc. Surely they would want me (or you if you were visiting from elsewhere) to be able to find the dealer/Service centre for the car !!!!!!
This sounds great and just to confirm, you've had no problems with any of the other unit's functions since? Voice, camera, phone interface, bluetooth, etc?
The $207.50 is a lot better than the $460 (RIP OFF) quoted by Land Rover Dealership to do the update, but $207.50 is a not so good if it introduces other problems somehow.
Just though I'd check.
Thanks for this...
Everything works just as it did before the map update.
Thanks - problem now I've just realised I don't know what version maps are loaded. I just got the car this week. Maybe I'll wait until the Nav sends me the wrong way before I upgrade. Do you know how I can check the version number / year of the maps? I can't find anything in the menus.
Cheers...
No, only by the discussion earlier in this thread.
I have just purchased what looks like a genuine Land Rover/Where-Is disk from Navigation Australia. It cost $350 - a rip-off but that is Land Rover. The disk does not work in a MY11 D4. After much frustration Navigation Australia advised that it cannot be loaded. After taking my money they eventually confirmed:
"The latest map disc requires the latest firmware to be installed Also
you have to pass through the software coding and adaptation with your
local car dealer"
So - firmware to be upgraded - cost? But even then you have to go back to your dealer. The whole purpose of buying the disk was to avoid the dealership experience.
To add insult when I hinted that I may need a refund it is basically "your problem" - and quoted the fine print. I had even asked them to confirm that I could install it myself.
Be aware when dealing with this organisation.:mad:
I am not expert on consumer law. My understanding is that the onus is on the seller. If they told you that the goods will do something that they subsequently aren't suitable for, you are entitled to a remedy or a refund.
No amount of fine print changes or removes your rights.
Tell your story to consumer affairs.
Thanks Fred
Fully agree
They are in breach of the Sale of Goods Act. The goods were "not fit for purpose".
For me - a lot of hassle.
But hopefully others may be well warned and be very careful about dealing with Navigation Australia.
Hi All, Has there been any update on being able to read installed map number info installed on these systems. When I purchased this vehicle in May it was a condition that the latest maps were installed. I was told this had been done. If you cannot check an installed map number this cannot have been done. Advise please.
