SAT NAV UPGRADES

Navigation updates for BMW and other brands

SAT NAV UPGRADES is an online service that sells map and software updates for vehicle navigation systems, with particular focus on BMW models. The company operates exclusively online and offers its customers the option to receive the files by email or on a physical USB drive.

Product catalogue

The catalogue includes updates for BMW navigation systems with PREMIUM, NEXT, ROUTE, WAY, LIVE and EVO map versions, covering model years 2010 to 2024. Available references include BMW ISTA Software, BMW PRO, BUSINESS & HIGH DVDs, as well as updates for Range Rover Discovery 3. FSC activation codes and the Video in Motion function are also offered.

Installation method

The update process is designed for users to carry out themselves without the need for BMW coding software. The map data is loaded onto a USB drive that is connected to the vehicle's port, either in the glove compartment in older models with the CIC iDrive system or in the armrest in newer ones. The system automatically detects the new update and requests a 20-digit FSC activation code that the company sends by email. Installation can be completed within 5 to 30 minutes, depending on how old the last update is.

Coverage and content of the updates

The updates include coverage for the whole of the UK and Europe, both Western and Eastern Europe. According to the company, they contain more than 75,000 miles of updated roads and millions of updated points of interest, such as shopping centres, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, banks, ATMs, fuel and charging stations, and BMW centres. The company notes that the road network in the UK and Europe changes by approximately 15% each year, so it recommends updating maps at least once a year, or every three to six months for those who drive frequently.

Delivery options and support

Customers can receive the update online if they have a device with USB write capability. Alternatively, the company sends a USB drive with the update for an additional charge of £15. Customer support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the company states it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company declares it has more than 1000 5-star reviews on Trustpilot.

Returns policy

Most items can be returned within 30 days of purchase, provided they are unused, in their original packaging with tags and accompanied by the receipt. Digital downloads and codes supplied to the vehicle's VIN number are not eligible for return. To initiate a return, the customer must contact customer service and include the order number and reason. Refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7 business days after receiving the item. A £10 restocking fee applies for incorrect orders, and the customer bears the return shipping costs.
