    Sat Nav updates

    Anyone know how to check the version of data/maps in the Sat Nav? Pretty sure mine needs an update but I don't want to shell out on updates if the latest is already in there. Seems to be missing lots of roads that have been around twenty years or more, including my home street. If this is as good as it gets it's near useless...

    $295 for V20 update is the latest available which is quite a few years out of date and at $295 would you spend it anyway? There's a secret menu for which I would have to do some digging to find out how to access it.

    Thanks Graeme. If you think you can find it without too much effort I'd be very appreciative. If it's a hassle, please don't bother.

    I'd bother only because mine seems to have the WA updates but nothing East Coast. Very outdated. Next to useless.

    I note that there's some mobs offering free Sat Nav upgrades for just about anything. Just give them the VIN and download the file, burn to disc/card/USB as applicable. Sounds too good to be true ?!

    Volvo uses the same Denso navigation system (which is also used in the Jag XF, XK, several Aston Martins, the Freelander 2) and Volvo paid TomTom for newer maps. Look for a map disc to suit the XC60 2008-2011, it's the same system, $195 for V23 from navshop

    Great info, thanks

    So... just verifying that you are absolutely certain that this will work in a LS-series L320? This one - Volvo XC60 (2008 - 2011) - TomTom Australia 23 GPS Map Update – navshop

    Ooooooh. $450 isn't overly cheap. It'd want to be pretty darn comprehensive for that sort of coin. Not sure I want to stump up that much. Anyone got a pre-loved one I could buy off you that's maybe a year or two old?

    Found it! Secret Menu.

    OK, so the Nav 'secret menu' can be accessed by being in the basic Nav home screen and touching and holding the exact centre top of the touch-screen for 7 seconds (invisible button) and then entering code 753 when prompted, then OK.

    If I read my info correctly, mine has never been updated and it is still running 2007 level. I assume that's American date format, so 21st May 2007 in English. But the date on the other screen might be 31st October 2007 (reverse notation)? I suspect that one is the Sat Nav operating software level, and the other is the mapping data level. Either way, they are well and truly outdated.

    The vehicle 'secret menu' can also be accessed this way:- From the home screen touch and hold centre top of the screen for 7 seconds and then press and hold the Nav hard button (left one) for 3 seconds and then enter the same 753 code when prompted. That gives you a wealth of knowledge about the vehicle.

    Updated mine in a Discovery 4 last month.

    Bought the disk direct from Landrover via this link:-

    Land Rover Australia - In-car GPS Upgrades for Australia and New Zealand - powered by TomTomŪ maps

    $195 plus postage, ordered on a Monday, arrive the next day.

    Disc is generic but they e-mail you the Key-lock code based on your VIN number when you submit your order.

    Took about 50 minutes to update so did it en route to a weekend away when I knew we'd be in the car for a couple of hours of driving.

    It's the latest one available, but don't quote me on this, I think it's up to 2015 from memory? I figured it was with $200 as my factory nav was missing the Peninsula Link road.
