Yes you can. It won’t be cheap though but has good reviews. Get a naviplus unit from Australia. |

Well that is the only option And I agree all is good but that part. It lets the car down. |

an alternative to Alistairs phone suggestion is a dedicated aftermarket sat nav [garmin,igo etc] mounted on the vents or a brodit mount.. ... - .- -.

Naturally upgrading the in built system has many more advantages than just accurate maps; for one it is integrated Having a nice luxury vehicle with already two perfectly good screen to then have wires and additional screens mounted is not right in my opinion. But more importantly, music and phone calls. The single line of what you are playing in music is a bit pathetic when you have two big screens there. Having Apple CarPlay or Android Auto would transform that experience. And then there is the phone calls themselves for a full hand free experience. Not only is it more stable than the old system and antennas that were in there as stock, it also remains properly integrated thus music mutes or lowers, as do Satnam instructions, screens switch to the correct view and so on. |

I don't think anyone would argue - an integrated system is clearly best. However, the cost and effort involved in attempting to do that is often not justifiable - and usually still doesn't result in a seamless integrated experience.... |

It has been great after I received the correct parts It took me a couple of hours the second time to dismantle it. It would definitely be better if they supplied better instructions. But other than that it is great and seamless. Just have to have my phone on my in my pocket (or in my wife's case in her handback) and it is just complete awesomeness. Same as in our MY2021 BMW M2C. |

Thanks does that clip in place or you had to screw in. If its any good to you, I bought a phone holder that sits in the cd slot, been great in my last 2 cars but as no CD slot in this car, I have no use for it, clips in and sits in CD slot, throw in glovebox when not in use. Maybe swap you for yours? |

Mines a Brodit one - they have custom clips for each vehicle - then attach whatever phone holder you like
