Hi Phil,

 

Just google Sat Nav Updates and you will find quite a few companies/people selling them.

 

I had the 2006 version on my car and found an update for £29 [2012/13] that works well.

 

I loaned my 2006 disc to another member who was having problems over a year ago and it has not been returned yet!!!!

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Peter, if you want a copy of the Denso 2012 disk - the latest one produced - give me a PM :)

Hi Paul,

 

I managed to get a 2012 Denso disc for £29 and it works well.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

I've just purchased a 1999 S-Type. I gather the early models came with a CD-based SatNav whereas from 2003 (I believe) Denso changed to a DVD-based system.

 

So my question is, can I replace the head-unit for a newer one (DVD-based) or is it simply a matter of burning a modern DVD disc to CD (as long as the data fits)? My unit still contains the original 1999 disc.

 

On another related topic, the SatNav keeps losing it's way and I have to recalibrate it. Would this be caused by the GPS receiver? I'm not getting an icon saying "No GPS".

 

Thanks in advance.
