Do you get a full UK postcode after this upgrade? And can you use a full Europe map from a DVD disc? (scratch that: see below..., Full UK postcodes can be used instead of town and also Europe on DVD (MY2011 only)).
The hardware is CD only. Upgrading the the firmware will not make a cd player a dvd player. Whatever maps you currently have will be there after the flash. Beware sometimes they disappear but can be re-installed with a VX cd.
Brown Andrew CD 500 has a DVD hardware in it! I learned last night you can burn MP3s on a DVD and it'll work.

P.S. is there any firmware to upgrade the display/functions to show the parking sensors intensity on the screen ? now i only have acoustic
worked a treat Andrew. although had to reinstalled the maps but works great. i wonder is there anyway of changing the colour etc from the standard that came with the motor
also what happens if you want to update the maps to the newest release do you purchase "download" the CD500 or DVD800 map is it that one and the same thing?
Once patched you can update your maps from the original cd or dvd. I patched mine then paid £10 for the Forum CD. Basically one person buys the CD uses it and posts it on to the next with each person sending 10 quid in return to the original buyer and posting on to the next (all in good faith but it works). After the map update all was still the same with 3D maps.

Most people can yes, although there have been cases where all map data has been lost and you need a VX cd to load them again. Use the CD500 maps as well.
so after the upgrade, if i want to have the maps updated to 2018..i should by disc dvd800 '17-2018 or i can update the maps to 2018 with my original cd 500 disc that i have it. thx!
