My 2007 V8 Vantage navigation has been in the wrong state for months now ever since I got the car back from the dealer they screwed it up, I have to bring the car back... I am wondering if anybody has updated there navigation disc from 07 to the 2009 version & if it works alot better? Also if anybody can sell me a copy of the 2009-10 version?

 

You can try this thread on the amoc forum:

It's a long thread but it includes the Volvo parts numbers for the discs you need to upgrade.

 

The above link just takes you to the main AMOC site, here's the thread:

Volvo DVD 2009 is working flawlessly!

 

I read all 17-pages and most of them relate to disks for Europe. I found it very hard to figure out what the Volvo Part numbers are, or Volvo car model numbers that relate to the 3-set disk that is compatible with MY08 V8V. So I posted that question on the AMOC site. I'll be very interested in the answer.

 

From what I've read, you need to look for the 2006 S60 or XC90. I believe these are the correct discs, on eBay for $190 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-DVD-Navigation-Update-Map-2010-Volvo-see-Description-/170628863969?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item27ba45d7e 1

 

Thanks very much for the quick response. I really like that these are original brand-new Volvo disks, and not Copies. I'll order a set and post how they work.

 

Cool. Please keep us apprised. Curious to know if much has been improved/changed.

Wow $190 for some DVD's. That's crazy. You can replace with a much better aftermarket nav for that price.

 

It's been talked about here, but no one seems to have posted on the results of using the Volvo 2010 navigation DVDs. So, I bought a set, and I can say they work fine in my 2007 V8V.

I hadn't used the previous navigation a whole lot, so I can't make any detailed comparisons. However, it looks like there are more points of interest and maybe better graphic depictions of the streets as a turn approaches. There's also a lane indicator showing which lane to be in.

 

Did the dealer get it to work yet? How?

eelton, if you don't need the east coast DVD I will buy it from you for $100. If I am correct 3 DVD's come in the package.

 

I'm going to hang onto the set, but I'll send you a PM.

 

Hello, I'm new to this blog but am experiencing similar issue with my 06 V12 DB9. Does anyone know of a compatible nav disk set that is updated/newer than the 2006/2007 version sold by Aston Martin dealership?

 

There is a 2010 update--sold for Volvo, but they work fine with the Aston. You need to get the three DVD set for a 2006 S60 or XC90.

 

Thank you.
