C7 Sat Nav module swap

[vipernutnew]

Hi Guys I have a 2015 C7 with U. S maps Nav and a 2014 C7 with UK Nav maps and would like the Nav working on my 2015 C7, is it just a case of swapping the Nav module from the drivers footwell?

Not sure it is, tbh.

Does your 2015 have the front cameras on it? I think this might be your problem as the 2014 didn't have the inputs for the 3 cameras (1xrear and 2xfront) that were on the newer cars.

Check if the plugs even look the same.

I *think* the one unit controls everything you'll see on the infotainment screen. So SatNav, cameras, exhaust sound settings etc. I wouldn't have thought that the US software would be identical to teh UK/Europe software either.

But I'll be happy if someone knows better and can give a definitive answer.

No my 2015 just has the rear camera, I'll take it apart and see if the plugs match, shouldn't be too difficult, I hope ha😁

Quick update, I swapped the HMI module over but it didn't work, it come up theft lock on the screen, it seems they are car specific when reprogrammed, the company sticker was on the unit, Custom tronix, the HMI unit has to be sent to them along with the VIN number and its 799 euros to do the job, is it worth it??, haven't made my mind up yet, but perhaps this info will help other C7 owners who want their US import Nav converted

Do you have android auto or Apple Car play on your C7 - if so, use your phone with Waze and get a much better sat nav and save EUR 800.
The big problem with built in sat navs is that they're only as good as the last update to the maps.

No android auto, not really worth spending that much on getting it converted for the amount of use it gets
