hello there,
i currently own a 2014 honda civic 1.8 v-tec hatchback (mk9) and am looking to update the inbuilt sat nav system. i tried several dealers who are quoting expensive prices for the update, not sure if it is a cd disc or sd card for the system. was told by one dealer, the latest thing that they can order is from 2017. anybody else have any more information regarding this about how to update this.
many thanks.

Hi, I have the same model Honda Civic, but without the Honda touchscreen head unit. I removed the whole unit & replaced it with a double din Alpine unit. Maps for the whole of Europe with camera alerts, Bluetooth & USB audio. It is a really great unit & I have one in my Subaru as well.
The Honda dealers are not really that interested in audio upgrades, main dealer sat nav updates have always been very expensive.
You could fit a new double din head unit that has Apple CarPlay/ Android Auto running Google maps these are always up to date.

Another vote for Android Auto. My old Honda used a CD that they charged about £100 for each update. My current Volvo can be updated by usb but the maps are never as up to date as Google maps.
