Car kit for Navigator
Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2017 9:08 pm
I have a Navigator V and decided I'd like to try it in the car. I ordered a car kit from my local BMW dealer. When it arrived I set it up in the car and everything worked as expected - except I couldn't get any sound for the voice instructions. I tried everything I could think of then went back to the dealer looking for help.
To cut a very long story (involving parts dept, car dept and motorcycle dept) short, it turns out that the wrong car kit had been ordered. I had a kit for the Nav IV !
The Nav IV has an internal speaker, the Nav V doesn't. Therefore, the car kit for the V incorporates a speaker.
I'll be back at the dealer tomorrow to swap my car kit for one suitable for my V.
There was no quibble about getting me a replacement and several people now know the difference between car kits for the Nav IV & Nav V ! >:( Just thought I'd share the knowledge ..... ;D
