n00b - update tomtom carminat maps from v.905

Hello all and thank you in advance for your help.
I am new to the tomtom navigators, so I need your help to update my system to a newer map version.

I have an integrated tomtom carminat on my 2014 Renault Scenic, loaded with Europe 2013 maps.
I'd like to update them to the most recent version I can. Could you please explain the steps to do so? Can I go straight to v1xxx or do I have to do it step wise?

my system reports:
Device AK6HA BAC8E
App 9.884.1609031.550 OS 1574740
GPS v.1.20, Boot 83.9378
Map 'Europe" v905.4796
UK English

Thanks!

You can only buy a new map. For the right procedure look on the TomTom website.

you're kidding, right?
thanks though

Unfortunatly ... on older scenic (with older TomTom) it's possible,
but on newer ones (2012+) with TomTom LIVE - buying the map is the only solution ...

b.r.

I don’t think so, it is possible but you must order sd card with custom CID from Alibaba (one with CID from original card, google it ). That I see on another forum, I have not try yet but many people in forum have success with it.

Well, nunu, since you only have two posts (although a registration in 2013) on this forum I don't give much credit to your suggestion.
In fact I much more suspect a commercial motive.

In short: don't follow this Alibaba route without good and reliable evidence.

I sign me in any forum if i need something from it, or like in this case if i mean i can give somebody info that i have long time lost to find it...
I´m from Croatia and have nothing with any commercial motiv, but in my country somebody sell tomtom carminat live 2018 sd card for 40€, that was a reason why i have looking for solution, because i know he have not pay original card from tomtom...
But like you say, i am new hier and you know it better...

Thank you for your explanation. I really hoped to find an easy way to update the maps, as they are getting old. TomTom charges an arm an a leg.

You're best chance is waiting for TomTom to have a sale for their maps. They can give a discount of about 40%.
