I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I will ask anyway. I have a 2003 X350 XJR. Can anyone recommend someone that can supply a disc, as current as possible, to update the sat nav. My current one can't even find my house, and I live in London!!!!

There's lots of sellers on eBay offering the original or an upgrade to the satnav roads database. I've not upgraded, but will soon. Just ensure your satnav works or there's no errors to start with.

potteray535,

A couple of thoughts:

The last x350 map disc is the 2012 version, so 10 years outdated for some roads. Whilst it may give you some value, I think you're much better off using Google Maps or Waze on your phone, to ensure you know road closures, latest road system etc

Make absolutely sure you get a valid copy if not buying a used original. If you use a badly copied version, it can lock your unit and that's a BIG problem.

Ensure you buy the right version that's compatible with the X350. The earlier discs used in the x100 etc will likely lock your unit.


Good luck

Paul

Thank you for that. I was hoping there might be something a lot more recent, but these sound as though they are more recent than the disc currently installed.

Is it the single disc DENSO model? I may have one newer than 2003 from my previous XJR, unsure. I am away until Sunday 6th so will check when back and if I have will forward on as no use to me now. If I find it I will message you.
