    My recent 599 purchase doesn't have a software card to operate the nav. Its telling me to visit the dealer. does anyone know of another source for this.I can use my IPhone google maps through the blue tooth but would like to if nothing else have the original system working. Any help appreciated

    On the bottom of the radio there is the Ferrari logo, slide it to the right. the left knob will pop open. There is supposed to be a NAV chip under that knob. That's the piece you're looking for. However, the NAV system sucks so I would say forget it and use the phone which is what I have chosen to do. Take the money and put it into another piece of the car!

    Totally agree! Your phone would be 1,000x better.

    I agree. However, that is true of virtually all cars, including my 612 and my new MB. The only exception is my wife’s Porsche where you pipe in your phone’s navigation through Apple car play. Other than that, car navigation systems are obsolete and a waste of time.

    I don't disagree but none the less I would like to have it working.

    Then order the chip from a dealer and you're in business!

    Hi
    Can I ask you how you get the maps working through Bluetooth, I can on get music but I have to physically plug in the phone through the glove box connection

    The only thing I can do through Bluetooth is talk on the phone
