PKAT Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Morning troops, Where can I get an update for my birdview without paying the earth for the DVD? Probably need the firmware update too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Try RustyMidgetMan...you may have to Google him as I have lost his contact details, but he does all sat nav upgrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) http://www.satnav-up...nissan-20-c.asp Check that you definitely have a DVD SatNav system before ordering. The older CD system discs are almost impossible to find and I don't think they have released an update for several years in any case.

Shane Brede Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I've got an old Birdview 5.1 system in my 54 plate & can't find an up-date or a set-up disc anywhere on the net all the suppliers say the DVD versions aren't compatible so you may be in the same boat as me I'm stuck with old maps & kilometres ( when I want miles ) so I'm busy trying to find an up-grade that all the steering controls work with but still fits in my chubby where the screen can be hidden from view.

EvansJD2112 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tried GPS Underground? The birdview works with the Renault carminat system dvd's http://gpsunderground.com/forum/car-navi-system/car-gps-systems/renault-nissan-infiniti/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw one that was claimed to be an update on EBay but that was a couple of years ago and it was obviously a copy too. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Like I said type in ebay. They even come up at £40 on Google. Nissan wanted £350. Loads of them out there. The guys that u load the cars of the ships at Grimsby tend to borrow them from the Player and put them on ebay for us lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Just bin the whole system, it was cack 6 years ago when I had mine. Mine used to think I was in a lake when I was on the Toll Road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine used to think I was in a lake when I was on the Toll Road Of course it will. If you don't update the disc every 2 years you are going to have problems. Especially at the rate roads are being built. Sat navs are not in real time and rely on up to date info. nav trak and co pilot all update in September every 2 years and they have to buy the info from ordinance Survey who as stated only release full uk map updates in September every 2nd year. It takes them that long to get it sorted. It was on Top gear a few years back. Edited March 10, 2013 by 4RE Leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Birdpoo is a load of rubbish, think about it, if you had a 4 year old TomTom it would be out of date let alone 6-10 years It will get you from A to B but if you want a good system with traffic, speed cams poi etc its never going to hit the spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy with a hammer who calls himself quality control. If any car fails to meet his standard he smacks it over the roof with the hammer and stick it back on the boat. Once it's clobbered its an open market for parts. Of course I know nothing of this and it could all be utter nonsence:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 If you don't update the disc every 2 years you are going to have problems. Especially at the rate roads are being built. Depends where you live I guess, we've had no new roads built around here for years. My house has been threatened with demolition since 2006 as the Welsh Government decided that the A55 should be widened to 3 lanes, not that I live that close mind you but they needed my land for access. Projections made from 2004 showed that by 2012 the A55 traffic would increase from 50,000 to 70,000 a day. In fact the volume of traffic is now at 43,000 a day, which is roughly what it was in 2000. Unless you live in the affluent south or in my case the affluent South Wales I don't think there'll be much roadbuilding in the near future. Apart from that a bit of research reveals that there has never been an updated CD for the 350Z and you can't just rip the CD out and replace it with a Nissan DVD.

Pete I don't understand what you are on about, The 2009-2011 did not show the latest extention to the M1 A1 link at bedford The 2011-2013 one does? I have had birds view in my last 3 vehicles and updated every disc. 2007-2009 does not show the M6 Toll road. 2009-2011 does. Why don't you believe me?
