post code sat nav?

[golfhappy]

How easy is it to program the sat nav with the post code? couldn't program the car and my back up one couldn't find the GPS!

after you press "town" - there is a button marked "Ptcd" - press it and then enter the post code

You have to juggle between text and numbers and space bar; a right pain but it mostly works.
Once it refused to allow the last two text inputs.

Not a post code problem but if I want to switch off the sat nav once I have started a journey is there a simple way to do this? A typical scenario would be I need to negotiate some back streets once I leave visitors having put in my home address but once out of the back streets and on the main road/motorway I know where I am going so I need to stop the lady from telling me what way to go LOL

route >> stop navigation

If you have the MFD on Nav (the display in the middle of the dials) scroll up or down on the right steering wheel scroller and you'll be asked if you want to cancel guidance, press down on the scroller to confirm.

I find this best as you don't need to take your hands off the wheel to stab at the touch screen.

I knew some clever people would know how to do this!! Two options wow, I wonder how many other tips are lurking in the background.

Cheers guys much appreciated

Alternatively you could just press the voice button on the steering wheel and say "Navigation" and then say "Stop route guidance".

Not answering your question but you could, of course, mute her. Once I was very glad I did this when forced to divert into unknown territory.

This works for me too.

Is there an easy way to do this without also muting the music? So far I have only been able to turn down the sat nav voice when it is actually speaking; not actually mute it. Couldn't see it in the manual so be interested if you know how to do this?

Thanks

Annoyingly, to completely mute you have to go into the menu; otherwise, the lady remains on at a low level. You can do that at any time, but only alter the volume (as you say) while announcements are in progress. Another of those badly thought out things.

Silly me. Correcting myself, you CAN change the volume level from the menu whenever you wish - but it is another of those driving safety reduction events.
