Just returned from dealer after satnav update. SD card changed (now on version 10.852) and "system reprogrammed" - now OS 1440787. Seems to start up quicker, but dealer couldn't say for sure that this would fix the crash problem I've experienced - fingers crossed!

Update on satnav problems. I've just got back from an 800-mile round trip, around 7 hours driving each way. On the outward journey I was running a bit late, so I'd been driving continuously for about 4 hours when the satnav crashed. I stopped, switched off the engine, removed & reinserted the...

Many thanks for your help. Everything is now working again. I'm due to get the update next week, which I assume is just the SD card change you mentioned. Does this make any difference to anything?

Hi xtrailman, I can't locate the reset button. I now also have another problem - the device shows that my Live services subscription expired in January (when the initial 3-month free period ended), even though I renewed in May prior to a long journey. I've emailed TomTom support and hope they...

I haven't noticed this button - does it appear on the satnav screen, or on the PC after updating? I spoke to my dealer yesterday and he told me that there is a (non-urgent) recall here in France in relation to the GPS/entertainment system. He didn't know exactly what it was, but I'll find out...

Having done over 3000 miles over the last few weeks I am increasingly pleased with the CX-5, except for the infotainment system. I updated TomTom Live Services before a trip back to the UK from France, only have the system shut down after the first 200 miles. I pulled in to a service area...

I live in the south of France and have some big mileage coming up in the next couple of months - a round trip back to North Yorkshire, followed by a holiday trip to the south of Italy. I haven't decided yet what do do about a spare. I didn't have one on my last car, a BMW X1, and survived OK on...

Success! I still wasn't able to transfer contacts to the car individually, so I downloaded the trial version of the Bluetooth Phonebook app mentioned in your link. I then reconnected the phone (without even re-pairing), overwrote the car phonebook and Bingo! - all contacts were visible. I...

Many thanks - I'll try the solutions as soon as I can and let you know how I get on.

Thanks Applauso. I've already checked that all contacts are on the phone and not the sim, but still no luck. It seems to be a problem with some android phones. There was a recent software update from Google and I'd hoped that this would fix the problem but nothing changed. It's a bit...

Hi, I'm new to this forum - a Brit living in France and I bought my CX-5 here in September as a replacement for a BMW X1. I'm generally very pleased with the quality and spec of the car, apart from a few gripes with the satnav which I've reported on the TomTom website. I completely agree...
