He guys,
For some weeks i am enjoying my recently bought 09 FX50S.
Thing is, the car was imported from the US to the Netherlands from new.
At that time it was not possible to replace the US map to a european version.
At the moment there is an additional navigation system installed that uses the dash screen, i can change over the video input to the navigation and back.
This navigation is getting outdated and even the most recent update is from 2010 so no point really spending money on updating this.
To get something more recent i will have to replace the complete navigation unit for a newer model, putting me down a lot of money, which might be better invested on an update of the cars system if possible.
As far as my search went i did not find any useful information about if this is possible or not, but does anyone know if it is still not possible to change out the US map for a european one anno 2015?
As this navigation is hard drive based it's hard to believe this is not possible to change.
i've read some stuff that went as far as removing the unit, soldering around and somehow get the car to accept the modified navi unit.
I don't want to go that far to get this changed but hopefully there is a more sensible way of doing this.
Anybody any thoughts?
