Morning All, new to the forum got a 2020 grandland x sri, very impressed with the car. First time doing some distance and it was brilliant apart from one thing the satnav is way out of date, I'm from Brierley Hill in the West Midlands and was going to Great Yarmouth, four times the satnav took me the wrong way, where do I purchase new updates from any help would be really appreciated.

Fred.

Hi Fred
I updated my 2019 Grandland Sports Nav using vauxhalls official site using - my.vauhall.co.uk (make sure full stops entered as i have typed) - register and find map/firmware updates FOR FREE. Patience is required as the downloads/uploading to computer/USB stick/vehicle can take some time but i found the map update especially useful.
Hope you get on ok

Hi All
Right had a right game trying to get this update sorted nearly three hours on laptop with little to no joy. Managed to get on site only once was asked to put in Vin number which i did to then be showed a message saying (Vauxhall update does not allow the update for this vehicle. We recomend you to access to the website of the brand ?????) Not a clue. thought I'd put in the incorrect Vin Number so tried again ( even though I'd took photo of Vin number) tried again still no joy. getting wound up a little now so switched off laptop and made a coffee, right round two.

This time it was even worse can't even get on the site keep having message off Vauxhall Update setup:- Installation aborted setup was not completed successfully, Ive tried and tried but no joy........... looks like going out and buying a Garmin should I be having this much trouble. Help please lol.

Hey

Did you download the Vauxhall update App? Its normally the easiest way to do it. You add your Vin it will then check for updates then ask you to connect a USB and download it for you. Then all you need to do it connect the USB to the car. It could be that your car is too new and it might not recognise it. If so it may be a trip to the dealership.


The only other way to do it is to visit the Vauxhall website link below and try this way but more people have issues this way then the above.

Oh that's unusual I have not seen that before.

Have you typed in at least 17 Characters for your Vin?
