So, the Welsh have built a big new dual carriageway. Imagine my surprise when I approached an island with a choice of 2 new roads and the satnav showed I was in a field!

I'm currently running V9 maps on the RNS315. I believe V11 is out now... but I'm sure I read someone on here tried maps V10 and they didn't work. Can anyone confirm or deny?

V10 maps were all messed up for UK users, I don't know why.

Not sure if they've fixed it for V11, bit of a sorry state if they've not bothered.

I thought I'd read that on here about V10. Actually... it explains why some sellers of the V11 cards say "not suitable for UK". When the supported country list clearly says UK. I wonder if that's because they have the same issues as the V10 cards.

How can a main stream car manufacturer get away with this?
Can you imagine the media sh*t storm that would erupt if Ford or Vauxhall behaved this way.

I had a Fiesta rental car for a couple of weeks ealier this year. The sat nav in it was everything you could ask it to be. The speed limit display even worked with the variable speed limits on the M25! I was really impressed, and that takes a lot nowadays. :D

I have just emailed SEAT UK regarding the situation. If I get no joy there I will email SEAT in Spain .

Okay....
This is the response I just received from SEAT UK.
My car is a 2011 1P1 Copa

'Thank you for getting back to us with the VIN/Chassis number. I apologise for the delay in my response.

I have spoke to our Parts department and they have advised for your year model vehicle the latest version is the Version 11.

We recommend visiting your local Dealerships in order for the update as the SEAT website only allows updates for the European version.

I hope this information proves useful, should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to get back in contact with us here at SEAT UK.

Thank you for contacting SEAT UK'

Update to above:
Just spoke to my local main SEAT dealer part is £171 inc programming.
But..............
They have no idea when they could get one, and I'd have to pay for it upfront in the hope that one day it might turn up.
Now waiting to hear back from SEAT UK.
Starting to lose the will to live.....

We're just lucky I guess! Annoying really as aside from getting an RNS310... there's not a lot of options. I've pretty much skimmed the catalogue of all Kenwood / Pioneer Android headunits up to £1k and none of them get decent review (for reliability especially).

How do you know which model headunit/satnav is fitted? My maps are on a cd/dvd and a few years old and would be interested in updating if I can get the cheaper option.

Try having a look here - https://smartworldcompany.com/how-t...agen-car-radio-infotainment-system-head-unit/

If you have either the RNS310 or RNS315 you'll need to hold the setup button and click into versions (I think) then if theres 5 lines of stuff it's the 315 and if it's 3 lines of stuff it's the 310... (probably should check that lol)

Think it might be a 315 as I'm the system there is more than 3 options. You would of thought it was in the handbook, which version it is.
