carsmate.co.uk satnav updates
Found this site which offer both FSC codes and map updates
carsmate.co.uk As my car , a 2012 model now has a 2 year old sat nav database (CIC) , I was mulling over perhaps whether it was time ot upgrade. Wondered if anyone had used this company before , and if so, what feedback. My understanding is that BMW will charge significantly more for the same updated , whether it's using DVDs or USB sticks. Are they merly over charging? |

I've used a third-party before with no issues but not these guys. Looks OK to me though.

EUROPE 2014-2 maps are released and are slowly becoming available at some sites. ...and yes, BMW dealerships charge an arm & a leg for the same. Very cheap otherwise. sending you a PM.

I bought an upgrade disc for my E60 from this guy, Rusty, who was recommended to me on a few BM forums. Nice guy to deal with and the upgrade disc worked well
http://satnavupgrades.co.uk/ Apologies, no mention of F10 on there, maybe worth dropping an email to Rusty to ask, bit strange!

same problem here. My car has the maps from 2010. no 7 digit post code search. I have the premium navigation system. Wonder what is the best way to have a 7 figure post code search with map update.
thanks in anticipation |
