Thanks so much for these really comprehensive and clear guides. Despite some nervousness I was able to install the navigation by following the steps, without any problems. The dealer quoted £130 just to 'scope the issue' with no guarantees it would be the final bill, so finding these instructions and being able to follow them is fantastic. Very many thanks.

Second if it already has Navigation do I still have to do the ELM connector part? And last it has Navigation so do I still have to install the NaviPatch? Sorry I'm new to this :/ Thx for your time!

Every time I try to put the usb in, I get an error that says "one or more of the files you are trying to install did not install successfully".

I just put a B11 update into my vehicle and it didn't seem to have to take any time to install anything. Should it take a while to update the maps to b11? The car system settings says it is b11, but its odd that it didn't seem to have to load anything.

Hi Reid. I’m on version 3.10. Your link to the download doesn’t work anymore, so I got one from forscan. I then tried to use the nav patch and set the background and tapped it and got the “Navi unlocked!!!” statement. I then master reset my car and I did not see the navigation information in my system information. I went ahead and did your nav app download on my usb from your previous video just to be safe and downloaded that to my car and it updated that. I then did the nav patch png background again, and master reset after that. That did not do anything either. Do you have any advice? I’ve been stuck on this a few days and can’t get it to work. Thank you!!
