Hello!

Well, i bought my up! without Maps+more because it was only available as a part of a larger accessory package. But now I've come to see that you can buy it as an accessory for the Seat Mii (and Skoda Citigo).

The problem is that my dash isn't prepared for Maps+more (the dash is solid, no "hole" for Maps+more). Is there anything you can do then?

Thanks in advance
Rasmus

The Navigon M&M is actually connected to the vehicle's antenna..?! I thought it was like all other aftermarket satnavs and used a built-in antenna for satellite reception. So now I'm wondering how the thing is working when used in pedestrian mode..???

I expect that during testing, you must have switched on the ignition with the Airbag Off light disconnected... have done that in my EOS when fitting phone system! Easy one to clear with diagnostic tool!

Top guide....mods, this has to be archived as I'm sure plenty of others will want to read it in the future

Well done Rasmus.M&m makes driving fun!

Maybe there is a market (albeit small) for a template to help with the cutting ?






However it does annoy me that the VW product managers decided to save a few pence by not supplying the hole, cover, wire and metal bracket, after all the cheaper brands did !!



That way they could have marketed it as an accessory and supplied the M&M and stand (or even included it on special offers like the cheaper brands !!)

You're absolutely correct, what a doofus I am! Thank you very much for your help :)

Thanks to all others as well! Thank god the new batch of up's come with predrilled hole - well, at least in Denmark they do :)

Re <<Thank god the new batch of new up's come with predrilled hole ;) >>


That is good that they come with the hole in Denmark now, has anyone seen that on any of the recent UK cars without M&M ?
Note that each Country and Brand is responsible for it's own specification !!

The two UP's at the dealer I saw both don't have the hole... I agree that it's a bit daft, they should cut the hole, but put a blanking plate on it like the bit above the radio which has the gaps for extra buttons, but are blanked offas applicable in lower specs...

Maybe if you install it well enough, they won't realise it was retro fitted!

That's only if they know... If you do a good job, they probably won't check/notice.

I retro fitted a VW MFD 2 DVD Sat Nav to a Golf Plus once and they upgraded the software on it at a service!

I would be super happy if someone with Maps+More would take measurements of the hole in the dash for me, just to be sure I've made the right calculations

Thanks in advance!
Just requoting this to answer the question about cost. Good luck if you do it!
