Hi All,
I have just used the Vauxhall Update App to update the Firmware and Satnav on my 19 plate Sport Nav 1.2 Auto and it worked a treat. It was much easier than faffing about with different downloads and formatting options that I tried before without success. The full procedure was put your vin number into the Updater and it will tell you of any updates for your vehicle. You click to download the updates and after downloading the Updater asks for a Flash Drive of at least 16gb to be inserted into your computer (I used a SanDisk Ultra 3.0 32gb). The Updater will Format the Flash Drive and transfer the Downloads on to it in the Folders it has made.(It put both Updates on the same Flash Drive).The Updater will tell you when it has finished so you can remove the Flash Drive from the Computer. Uploading the Updates took 35 mins for the Firmware and 45 mins for the Satnav. You need to start your engine and keep it running during the Updates. It did the Firmware first and then the Satnav. The screen will go blank a few times during the Uploads as the system keeps restarting just be patient while it does it`s business. When it has finished it will try and install them again just tap NO for both then you can remove the Flash Drive and you are done. My car has gone from version 10 to 20 on the Satnav and the Temp on the screen is brighter so Well Pleased. It looks Like Vauxhall might have got it right AT LAST. I hope this Helps.
