Pickedup my Kuga last week, the DVD case was empty as the dealer said they'd installed it, how do I get the disk to eject?My mate recons they've coppied it on the internal hard disk, if so I want them to supply me the original disk!

Hi there... nice to see a new poster here.

There was some kind of discussion in this thread. I didn't hear any more, and forgot to ask when the car was serviced a week or two ago!
BTW, what is the version of the disk you have? is there something marked on the box? I'd like to know if there has been an update since last July, when I picked up my car.

Hi


All is says on the DVD case is Europe 2009, Russia + MREE 2009, don't know if that helps?



Have you found a way on the Navigation Software to show Miles rather than Kilometres? My setup on the clocks is set for miles for mpg etc ............

In the language setup on the satnav, you get a choice, English Metric or English Imperial.


Hope that helps!

I was toldtoday if you remove the volume knob and then the bezel which is arround the knob you can see the DVD, the button press I was given didn't work, press pwr & eject. I have a photo but I don't appear to be able to upload it on this post!
If anyone finds the button press can they please post the instructions



Regards



Mark

I don't see any release button behind the bezel! There is a small square white sticker though. Mabe the release is behind that and the sticker is some kind of security label?


Anyhow, my DVD case just says Europe 2008, so from what you write, it looks as if there is a newer version of map software released. Thanks for your feedback. I wonder now how to go about getting an update? Has anyone out there bothered?



Cheers.

As a matter of interest!


For those with the Premium Sat Nav fitted, it may be worth getting in touch with.

As I did yesterday give them all your details and vehicle ID as they will send you an update free of charge for you DVD Sat Nav.



However the reply I got was this..

"


Dear Sirs,


Unfortunately the new updates 5.0 for the Navisystem NX mit Touchscreen are not available at this moment. We have no discs at our stock. The updates can probably be delivered in the middle of August.


We have registered your order now and will deliver the DVD as soon as possible automatically to you, when it will be available.


Unfortunately we can not give you the exact delivery term.


Thank you for your kind understanding"


I will have to wait out!!

Did BG or anyone else receive a DVD update in this way

I sent my email, but didn't hear anything back yet!

Tks, qxq

I've recived a email from Blaupunkt saying the following:


"<DIV dir="ltr" align="left">


Dear Sirs,



The update 5.0 are not avaliable. I got the information last week, that there
is a new update 5.1 and the Ford dealers will get the new update automatically
at the beginning of November. I can't send update anymore. The customer have to
turn to the Ford dealer to get an update.



Thank you for your kind understanding."

 

[Kuga Jon]

I'll speak to my mate who works in Ford Parts and let you know!

 

[BigGeord]

Any news from your mate yet? KJ

 

[Kuga Jon]

Just gave him a reminder - should get an answer by the end of today!

Update - heard back from Ford and the brand new Kuga's arriving at dealerships right now are being shipped with the 2009 Nav disc so AFAIK there is no update from this disc yet!

If this changes obviously I'll post an update unless someone else finds out first!

[BigGeord]

I have heard from my nearest Bored stealers 2day and they have a copy of the 5.1 update,
and that they would like to take the opportunity in charging me the princely sum of £45 for their efforts.



I find this very resonable considering I have no idea what features the update will give me

any other comments on this matter!

 

[Kuga Jon]

Latest I heard was that Ford were investigating the reports that the 2009 disc does not find all the postcodes entered - ironically its something I've encountered at least half a dozen times in 3 months of ownership - be interesting to see if we get an updated and "fixed" copy for free if Ford accept its a problem!

 

[Simmo]

Hi,
I've downloaded the 5.1 update from the fordmondeo.org website:



http://www.fordmondeo.org/forum/showtopic.php?tid/822918/



It was easy to do, I burnt it to a disc and the updated my unit.



Could someone please tell me how to remove the head unit as I've tried inserting the 4 keys but there seems to be something else holding it.



Cheers Paul

 

[quatroxquatro]

Hi Paul, thanks for the link. I downloaded the updater (eventually, it's very slow and stalled twice before I was able to get a good download) and it's now installed.

Just need to get back on the road to use it and see what's changed!

Sorry that I cannot help you with the unit removal query, I hope someone here can.

Nice one!

Cheers, qxq

 

[BigGeord]

I have just received ford nx 5.0 update from Blaupunkt through the post, strange since they said they had none left. I have also downloaded ver 5.1 from the above link.


I would like to know though before I update my system is it worth it?



are there any visible differences/benefits.?
