Ray you don’t need no maps! With you being on the road 24/7 I am sure you know the roads back of your hand.+++

Adrian, how easy is it to do the map update? I drove past yours on Sunday evening on my home from Germany.

It's not difficult to do, but the maps need activating with a small file on an SD card after map installation, then there's a software version management error to remove with VCDS. Takes 2-3 hours in total, depending on the speed of the SD card.

Ideally wants a battery charger rigged up throughout so the battery doesn't get a hammering.

Even I don't know everything.
OK I like to brag and make out I've been everywhere, but truth be told, everyday is a schoolday.

For my 80 year old brain that is starting to sound a bit complicated.
Connecting a charger is no problem, that was my line of work when I first started to earn a proper crust.


Think the best way for me is to forget it, unless you put the kettle on and I drive down your way.

Always an option if you're in this neck of the woods :D

Might be well worth the drive down to actually meet up with you.
But then again I have been promising that for a few years. Lot easier now that I have dropped all the chauffering work.
PM me when you have a spare couple of hours and I'll remortgage the house to buy some fuel.
