98 elite satnav upgrade ??

[jud1255]

is there an upgrade for my satnav in my 98 elite 3ltr auto saloon,
or does anybody know of a supplier for the cd.
thanks jud

I believe it can use the newer map CDs...  ...however, it is quite an old system, and will never be like the newer ones....

[MaxV6]

newer Disk maps are available...  retail is around £90 i think... or it was when mine was updated in about 2004

I have a spare one from about 2001 you can have...  at least it's later than 1998......   but for current data you'll have to go to Vx.

Hi, I curently have a 2003 version for sale on e-bay item :  330087635558 , I've upgraded to a 2006/2007 Tele Atlas disc which is also compatible with the Carin and VDO/Dayton units, contact me if I can help anymore.

I bought the 2006 tele-atlas disc from Germany (eBay) for £30 quid. Sure, the CARiN system is neot great but it works and its integrated. If you need a hand finding the right one on eBay let me know...

[jud1255]

dave c,
Thanks ill keep an eye on it.
Sophos 9,
yes if you dont mind you can keep me posted on the latest thats available  , eg, on ebay etc.
ive just looked at mine and its the original 98 vdo/carin, so it must be way out of date.
again thanks to all
jud
PS  also, does anybody know if i can search by entering post code on the later models available to me and  or, entering the street first  then searching cities.
again thanks jud

[MaxV6]

I think post code search has to be a feature of the hardware and operating system, not just the map...  My original system still only does street name&number + town/city , that's with 2004 Data....   I keep meaning to update it to the latest version......    

Pm reply imminent...  BTW

Postcode search is software based, 2006 teleatlas enables postcode searches on CARiN systems

[MaxV6]

now THAT wasa bloody useful piece of information Sophos.....    many thanks....  update duly moved up the "to do list" to somewhere that might actually get done !

where did you get yours?

[TheBoy]

Don't quote me, but I thought the Carin one needed a system software update to do postcodes...

[jud1255]

dave c , whats the year of yor omega thats using the tele atlas and have you had it updated ,
as the boy is suggesting
cheers jud

[sophos9]

Don't quote me, but I thought the Carin one needed a system software update to do postcodes...

In my instance, I have a totally standard Phillips CARiN, it came with the original SatNav disc which only had the midlands!! The disc is the limiting factor here...

I believe this is the disc but please email the seller first!

This is the version info from my CARiN
HW-ID 1005
SW-ID 1500

Hope it helps

Mines NOT updated, but will run the 06/07 teleatlas, NOT postcodes though...  can anyone elaborate on upgrades, I too wold like to do this if possible...
