Navigation CD wanted

Navigation CD wanted for early model Volvo

242GT

What year and specific model volvo are you referring to.

Most dealerships have e done away with cd updates and now go through the usb port in the centre console and update maps directly

ICEDVOVO

2003 (04) S60R with CD player in the boot & pop up screen.

NO DVD player, NO SD card, NO usb port for any currently available updates.

Local dealer is tracking down any available updates for the CD based system.

I'm a stickler for keeping stuff original but I can see myself hacking the pop up to install a tomtom or android screen in its place.

And no Im not going to replace the head unit with some newfangled multi media big screen system. For all the convenience they might bring they look cheap and tacky and very UN-volvo.

Thats odd , no usb port to cars system.

My 2013 XC60 was a CD map update model , took it to my friendly dealer at Moss Vale and they said they updated it via the usb in the centre console arm rest with their laptop from now on , that was 2 yrs ago.

I'll be there tommorow getting a new windscreen installed in the xc60 ( stone chopps and leaks from top passengers corner due to detaching of screen and sealant) , more on that story with a different post later.

Let's just say windscreens obrien are not the honest people they say they are , as I was prepared to pay the difference between their cheap nasty screen (non original that they charge $962 if you walk in off the street plus fitting) .

Check with a reputable Volvo service centre and check that there's no usb port , odd.

Any cd updates will be out of date by now anyway.

Pretty sure there won't be one, I don't recall my 08 V50 having a USB update option. And yes, the CD updates for that stopped aaages ago. So if you want anything up to date you'll have to hack in something else.

No usb port in storage area under centre console arm rest lid ?

Definitely no usb to be seen anywhere in this S60R. Made in 2003 it inherited the nav system from the 98 models!

Volvo were preoccupied with 4C on the R and it looks like the navigation system just tagged along from previous models.

Yep, windscreen outfits like Obrien & NRMA windscreens just a namesake franchised out to small business dude who employ just any dogsbody who is willing to have a crack at it. They ruined the pillar on my ute , when they removed the windscreen. In the process they scrape through the paint to remove the black sticky stuff (polyurethane adhesive). The scratches are not repaired or primed so it forms a ideal spot for rust to form. 10 years later the pillar is rusting out internally

I'll only put genuine screens in my XC60 , had a cheap obriens screen in my 2 series , within a year there were cracks appearing from the A pillar horizontally across the screen .
Ring Stu at Voldat , he owns both early and late model S60

USB not seen in volvos until 2007

There is a CD Nav upgrade available - part no 31266835. But its just a software upgrade which you dont want to install as it prevents copied discs being used. My whereis map cd from good old 2002 was easily backed up using generic CD burning software. The copied CD works just fine. I was hoping to crack the CD so I could see what files it contained but no matter what software I use I cant view a file directory on the CD or the ISO copy of the CD. I was hoping to hack in some current KWI files from a current DVD but I'm not sure the CD system uses them. Anyway, the KWI files are already over 1GB so its unlikely a 700MB CD will be using the same system . Resigned myself to gutting the pop up and hacking in a current tomtom or navman.

Thanks. Will do .
