Question

Hi all,

Do you know what this is about? Will we require a code for the new 2008-1 Satnav DVD?

Your post is the first I have heard. Do we know when the 2008 DVD will be made available? Are these normally charged for upgrade?

Can confirm that the new 2008-1 disc does not need unlock codes. Just got my copy and after alterations to add European speed camera POI all worked fine. System identifies you have a new disc and asks you to shut down and restart in 5 minutes.... jobs a good'un!

You just need to do a search on this forum. There is a thread, which is easily found, which provides detailed instructions on how to add cameras and other points of interest.

I wish someone make the DVD available and ready to install so we can buy it as I have no hope in hell of being able to follow the instructions.
