Navidrive Again

[arrows]

Hi all. I have a C3 Exclusive with Navidrive and as more of you here have Navidrive I thought this forum would be more apt.

 

Does anyone get the banner on start up of the car saying EMERGENCY AND BREAKDOWN CALLS DE-ACTIVATED and if so dou you know how to stop it happening as it is beginning to annoy me. I have to press esc before the screen will clear.

 

Also did any of you get a proper manual for the Navidrive - I have just bought my car as an ex demo, 5 months old and it did not come with one.

 

Is it true that no speed camera warnings are provided?

 

Does anyone use the phone facility and if so do you use another sim card as I cant see the benefit of this if you have to keep removing the one from your phone and puting it in the Navidrive slot or am I missing something.

 

Finally can you do a search on a postcode?

 

Thanks

 

Rob

Hi Arrows,

 

Sorry - have been away in Rhodes for a fortnight and only just got back.

 

The Emergency calls deactivated banner will always appear until you take it to your dealer. From what I gather a number of the RT3s ("NaviDrive") loose the telephone numbers for the emergency and breakdown during a flash of the ROM, which is done both at new and periodically during the life of it. There's nothing you can do about that, needs to be plugged in and have them type the numbers back in.

 

I did get a proper manual, yes. There should be one with it.

 

No speed camera warnings are provided with the RT3. If you wish to, you can obtain a 'modified' copy of the maps from somewhere which has a static list of speed cameras in, however it's of limited use since the cameras move and crop up all the time and even with this disc it won't alert you, they just appear as a point of interest on the map.

 

I always use the sim card slot - it's my hands free kit. I just got a free pay-as-you-go chip from O2 who I have the business mobile contracts with and switch my mobile onto divert to the car when I'm in it.

 

Aahh postcode searching again. The answer in short is no. There are some postcodes in there, for certain areas of London and Birmingham but that's about it. If I'm honest though, even with the TomTom my mate's got we always use street name and house number or go to point of interest.

 

Hope all this makes sense!!

off topic how was Rhodes mate?

Thanks for that Lee, I thought you were probably away - it makes perfect sense to me!

 

Looks like a trip to the dealer then to get the annoying message de-activated. The car has to have some work doing to it anyway - would you believe that the front and rear door panels on the driver's side are a different fabric to those on the front and rear passenger's side? The dealers have taken digital photos to send to Citroen to avoid any confusion hopefully. The dealers are sending me a manual.

 

Hope you enjoyed your hols.

Would I believe it? Yes, this is Citroen, I'd believe it if you told me they'd forgotten to put the engine in.

 

Talking of which, you remember the long list of faults from before I went away? Came to drive it 2 days before I went away, and over the period of the 2 days the following happened:-

 

"Depollution System Faulty" - permanently on now.

"Cruise Control System Faulty" - permanently on now.

My steering wheel controls don't work.

The indicators don't work.

The steering wheel "clicks" exactly once every second.

The electric windows don't work.

 

You know the only thing really that is working is the engine, and they have advised me not to drive the car since the depollution system faulty could be a serious issue. They're collecting the car on Monday.

 

It's a shame, I love the C4 think it's a fantastic car, but I just don't know how much longer I can go on with it, I mean, I just don't know which bit is going to drop off next. Plus most people thought I was being rude doing hand signals driving it home.

 

Anyway...

 

Rhodes was superb thank you mate - can't believe the fortnight has gone so quickly, but weather was perfect, food great, hotel excellent - had a fantastic time!
