SD SAT NAV!!!!!

[s31jay]

My mum and dad just picked up there new q3, it has the SD sat nav in it! Would I be able to just plug it into my SD slot on my s3? Dealer said it would be £500 to get it from them! Grrrrrr

 

[MatthijsR]

Just try it

 

[s31jay]

Cars still at the dealers, was just wondering if any1 had tried it before i get them to install it before i pick it up!

 

[Martinbanshee]

Nah, needs to be activated by a dealer unfortunately

 

[s31jay]

O so the car has to be activated? Thats ****

 

[Martinbanshee]

Yeah, means you can't just buy any old card off flea-bay

No the card has to be activated in the car it is going to be used in, normally about £100 but you might be able to negotiate a deal. This has always been the case with SD, did you think you'd be able to have an upgrade to navigation for nothing? However is your S3 sat nav prep'd, if so you should have a card anyway...

 

[Martinbanshee]

All new S3s are Sat Nav prepared, you don't get the card unless you spec Sat Nav from the factory or ask a dealer to activate. The dealer will supply the card and activate the pre-installed equipment.

 

[MatthijsR]

no activation possible in vagcom?

No I think they have to link in to Audi Germany

 

[Martinbanshee]

Yeah, definately a dealer job

Yep, all sd cards are for 1 car only, so you can't transfer the card to each Audi you buy, or just nick the SD card out of a show room car and think it will work in your new A3.
