Insignia Sat nav

Hello All
Posted a question a couple of days ago about Insignia Sat nav and postcodes. Just got delivery of new car, loaded the disc, everything works but definately no obvious way of putting in a postcode and nothing in the instructions either mentions postcodes. This seems very poor, I am very disappointed, but otherwise the car is lovely.

Re: Insignia Sat nav

shame on the dealer for not giving you a proper handover and showing you
how it works!!!

That is very poor service indeed, and even worse considering Insignia is their new flagship all singing and dancing model.

Thanks Mitch

I've sussed it!!!!

Had a brainwave and it worked. When the screen asks for a city you can scrool through and enter the 1st 2 alpha characters of the postcode and then the numbers appear on the screen to allow the next part of the postcode. Yippee.........

The handbook is useless. There is no mention at all of this facility. Can't wait to the guy to collect my Passat then I can take it for a spin

Thanks all for your input, will post pics tomorrow hopefully

When the guy got the car did he get a manual for the DVD 800 Nav?

Re: Insignia Sat nav

I picked my Insignia up on Saturday and I checked through the manuals etc and noticed that there wasn't one for the Sat Nav and pointed it out to the dealer showing the one I had for the Vectra that I'd just p/x'd. He said they didn't produce one as far as he was aware but he would check and get back to me. He did show me how to use it by entering in the post code in to the city section and it all looks pretty straightforward. What foxed me yesterday though was when I went to put in a CD and found that it wouldn't go in because the Sat Nav DVD was already in the slot. I think through the link below to Bosch it explains that I should be able to take out the Nav disc and the system will still work using internal flash memory. I'll give it a go this morning and let you know if it works.

I had a manual, it says on the front, Vauxhall Infotaniment CD500 /DVD800, so they do one, don't get fobbed off by the dealer saying they don't, Yes you can use the sat nav without the disk in

Re: Insignia Sat nav

I can't understand why the dealers haven't assisted more buyers by installing the disk etc and been a bit more helpful

When I went thro' everything found 2 Sat Nav manuals
