Will the dealer give me a CD or SD car with this?

 

Does the CD or SD card have to stay in all the time, or just when installing?

 

And how about updates, how do they work?

No    If you want an update it will cost you about £120/160

 

I use my SD for music 

The maps are on a hard drive within the Amundsen unit itself, not on an SD card or CD.

Ok, so I shouldnt expect any CD or anything.

 

No free updates though? That's a bit naff. 

There's no update for the sat nav at the minute, would be downloaded via VCDS or a disk possibly if needed.

Sweet talk the dealership when it goes in for a service, especially if you've got the service plan, they might include the update if one was available.

It's going to come with the latest maps available anyway so you won't need to worry about updates for now.

That's the problem with intergrated sat navs, they can't easily be updated like TomToms and Garmins.

The navigation data can be stored either on the CD or on the SD card.

If a SD card with navigation data of the same country as on the CD is inserted in the

unit (however the data on the CD correspond to a newer version), a question is

displayed after inserting the CD asking if the data should be overwritten with the new

version or if only the data of the CD should be used for navigating.

If a SD card is inserted with the cards of other countries than the card contained on the

CD, a question is displayed asking if the data on the CD should be added onto the SD

card or if only the data of the CD should be used.

You can copy data from several navigation CDs onto a SD card. The navigation data on

the SD card are automatically linked by the navigation system. For this reason, we

recommend to use a SD card with sufficient memory capacity. A memory capacity of

approx. 4°GB is necessary in order to copy the navigation data of Western Europe.

Using the data of a navigation CD for a short period of time

If you only drive for short periods through an area which is not stored on the SD card,

insert the navigation CD for the driven area.

Up to date navigation data and new navigation CD

Road guidance is subject to constant changes (e.g. new streets, changes of street

names and house numbers). A navigation CD is a huge data store, which unfortunately

will not be up to date after a certain time. This can lead to complaints during route

guidance.

It is for this reason that you must regularly update the navigation data on your unit with

a current navigation CD.

Remaining function buttons

The following function buttons are only active if a navigation CD is inserted in the unit

and the memory card contains navigation data.

• - displays information regarding the navigation CD (area

and version number of the navigation CD);

• - displays information regarding the stored navigation

data and their volume;

• - opens the menu with which you can delete the navigation

data on the memory card;

• - activates the storage of the navigation data from the navigation CD

onto the memory card.

Note

• Copying a CD can last up to one hour, during the copying the navigation functions

(route guidance, map display) cannot be used, the mode TMC (traffic report) as well as

Does the unit display album art and contact pictures? I just read it did, but not sure if that's the better model. 

I have the admundsen rns315 and it does not display album art, just track info.
