SEAT Media System 2.1 (or Sat-Nav to you & me) - UK only

[Hugo Nebula]

Perusing the SEAT accessories page, I notice this: an update to the 2.1/2.2 nav.

Does anyone with the 2.1 system have this yet? If so, does this give full postcode functionality? Or is it just a map update?

Mine is 2.2 apparently, but it says 2.1 when it turns on, it has got full post code search though

You can download the map updates for free to give full 7 digit postcode.

I have Seat media system 2.0 with the latest maps and can do that. You don't need to buy the whole update to get it

I thought we'd been through this. 2.0 can be upgraded (via a fileshared download) with a CD. 2.1 doesn't have full postcode functionality. 2.2 has full postcodes. The grey area is whether 2.1's can be upgraded to 2.2's.

Well, I have full postcode functionality on my 2.0, but if 2.1 uses a CD, that should be upgradeable too, unless there is some crackpot reason why not?

It is my understanding that the Seat Media System version, doesn't have anything to do with whether you have 7 digit postcodes or not, it's the maps that are used with your version that affect the postcodes. Seat Media System version 2.0, and 2.1 use a CD to update the maps (correct me if I'm wrong about 2.1), which where then written to an SD card (if you wanted). The latest Seat Media System (2.2) use an encrypted SD card to update to the latest maps.

So I would think that as long as you can download the latest map version, you can put them on any Seat Media System that can update via a CD. It just happens that the latest version numbers come with the latest maps.

The version numbers would refer to different functionality that the unit has. For instance, my 2.0 cannot show any phone information on the RNS screen, where as the latest 2.2 version can. There are probably hardware upgrades in there as well, I believe the latest 2.2 version has internal storage (I think these changes are because Seat Media System 2.0, and 2.1 are RNS-310 units, where as 2.2 is the RNS-315)

That's my take on it anyway, someone please correct me if I'm wrong

tl;dr I thought as long as you can use a CD to upgrade to the latest maps, it should be no problem.

P.S I can tell you where to get the maps from, but I imagine I'm not allowed to post that on here.

AFAIK the 2.0 upgrade is incompatible with the 2.1 or 2.2. These can only be upgraded with an SD card. The 2.1 is equivalent to the RNS-315.

Ahh I see. I thought 2.1 was still CD's, not SD card.

My bad.

No this does not give you full post codes
