Cayenne 2003 Sat Nav

[Ropps]

Hi, I was hoping you could help?!

The sat nav looks very dated and I was hoping I could just upgrade the software for a newer version with better maps? Is this possible? The reason I Ask is the wife keeps nagging that the sat nav screen mAps look old and her friends (brand new Toureg sat nav has a really great map)

So rather than having to buy a new sat nav for the car I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the software?

I'm not being rude, but its a 11 year old car. you have two options
1) Buy a newer car
2) Get a less fussy wife

I have a 53 plate Cayenne S for carting the dog around.

Buy a newer car? if only just spunked 120k so my cash flow is limited, so she had to do with a Cayenne Turbo..... Newer Wife? maybe...

simple question - will it need a new sat nav or is there software that I can buy to bring it too todays current maps.

the 2003 is a CD/DVD based system dependent on year. So you can probably get an updated CD/DVD from somewhere, you can't do anything about the appearance though. for that you will need a new unit.
TBH i fail to see the issue with the way it is?

You can replace the pcm with a Dynavin N6 which is touch screen with much better sat nav and functionality but you lose the trip information which i quite like which is the reason i havent pulled the trigger on one of these units yet

[Ropps]

I really like the appearance of the phone module and the trip reading etc etc, it's the maps that look old. Thanks again for your responses, I will see what I can do, ideally I do not want to replace the unit.

To be honest all these car sat nav's are crap. Better off buying a Tom tom.

Also be careful when changing the head unit if the car has Bose as I seem to remember it being fibre optic and you can get some serious issues as well as the cost. You'll be looking at over a grand on an old car so I'd tell her to put up or buy a new cayenne :-)

[Ropps]

Yep it has the Bose system. I read somewhere else that it's a bit of a pig to upgrade.

Put a dynavin n6 in it works with Bose system -
