Hi Lee,
I tend to use Waze, its more uptodate and the much cheaper option. 
When I got my 2012 the maps had not been updated so I got some of eBay that came easy to load with full instructions but have not bothered since as use the mobile.
 

Happy motoring, Cheers

Hello Lee,

I’m sorry no one has replied to your post. As frustrating as this must be, I think that if this fell within the experience bank of those who try to help out on here, then forum members would take their time to respond. 

If I had an answer I would tell you, but I don’t, and to be honest, I don’t really have an answer to your last-line question either, but would support the forum principle that advice is generally given freely by folks who give their time and share their knowledge without any charge - and very often without any acknowledgement. 

Apologies Lee. Let’s hope your nudge prompts someone to help you out. 

Kind regards, 

Gareth. 

There you go - Mark has kindly come along while I was replying,  so perhaps you could let us know whether his assistance has been of any benefit to you.

I just use the phone the MMI on mine doesn't support Android Auto or AppleCar so am left with little choice. 
While I had a Q2 loaner I used the Android Auto which was a lot easier - about the only thing I liked on that car.
