Hi,
I have just bought a new (used) Macan (late 2016). The dealer is saying that the nav has been disabled and I cannot have it because Porsche removed it. It doesnt sound right so I wanted to check if anyone else could tell me if he is talking rubbish or this was actually a thing.
Cheers!
Navigation Unavailable on my New (used) Porsche
I think that sounds like complete tosh.
Nav is either fitted or it isn't and from memory in 2016 it was optional so if the first owner didn't spec it then it isn't there and will cost a fortune to retrofit.
I assume the dealer is non-Porsche and either doesn't know or is pulling your chain.

So it is a Porsche Approved vehicle and built 2016 when nav was optional ? What did the list of optional fitted extras say in the sales description re Nav and items like Porsche connect plus? I can see never been fitted more than deleted.

to be fair to the OPC, listings at Porsche dealers are 99.9% spot on. If there was no mention of nav on the for sale listing then no nav fitted. Could be a case of buyer beware, unless the sales bod (or Retail Manager it is now) said it came with nav, in which case you have them by the sensitive hits so don’t hesitate to squeeze a little.
Good luck!

Did they state Nav was included in the spec when you bought it? If so you've got them by the short and curlies. If not you've got a choice chase them for the sales guy telling you porkies in the hope they'll give you something (contribution to a retrofit?) or accept it and move on.
One question (and I think the answer is no but not 100% sure), can you have CarPlay fitted without the Nav module? If so and it turns out you can't resolve the issue I'd have that fitted and use Waze or Maps.

Yes you can but does need the GPS Antenna. Possibly even less complex than this if you don’t want voice control.Miopyk wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:28 pmDid they state Nav was included in the spec when you bought it?
