Good Morning, please can somebody help me ? my sat nav needed updating as it was running V4, my Qashqai is a 2018 plate. i thought i would order the V7 sd card off of the internet, rather than a well known auction site, i paid £36.99 for the card, when it arrived, i youtube`d how to install the card, the youtube video said take the old card out and put the new card in the slot and the process of installation will start, with progress time across the screen. when i put the new card in, i got nothing, when i took the card out `no sd card` message came up, tried again, sat nav worked, so thought it was working, started the car yesterday, got message `no sd card`, so took new card out and put old card back in, working perfect. Am i doing something wrong ? i emailed the company i bought the card from, yesterday, but as yet, had no reply. Any advise or comments would be appreciated.

I can’t help, sorry, I believed that they were "plug n play"
If it doesn’t work and you bought from a reputable company, I would hope that they will send you a new card.

cards are just plug and play so you have a faulty card by the sound of it. v7 only just comeing out i think, my last card was v6 last year not worth updateing each year as the map info is always a year behind. but as you haven`t updated for many years it`s worth you doing. sd cards are normally around £20 the price soon drops after a month or so.

I've seen that business about installing before. There is nothing to install, all map data is on that sdcard. Its about £18 on ebay and the version I got 2 months ago was supposed to be the latest. However, there is no way of verifying that.

It plugs in and luckily for me works. I was expecting a key id type failure.

The Nissan proprietary version is about £400 for SFA in my view.
