Where Is The Postcode Search Option

[freddiezb]

Hey all!!, TGIF!!

Query on a Mark IV Sat Nav fully updated with 29.1 ( reading 4/1/91 in the sat nav window ). Can you do a postcode search on an address and if so where do you enter it in as i do not have a separate section for it!?..i am running the latest Navteq 2007 CD map and have an old BMW 2005 DVD map spare.

Can anyone let me know where i key in the pscode?.

Thanks as always Mini people!!

When you go to Desination Input one of the fields should says City / PC ? (I think). You can enter a city OR a post code there.

Hi S33BBY, thanks for the response!,
Yep i have a city / house number section, can i simply enter a full 7 digit number in there?..

Full Postcode is 2007-2 onwards, so I have been told, still want to clarify though from a member on here if it does indeed work?

Hi Aldo,
Thanks, i have the 2007-2 disk on CD only though not DVD would that make a difference?.
I was expecting a full postcode category much like you have, country, town, house number etc!? but that would be the firmware update too i guess and i am on the latest version.

That might be true, but with 2007-1 (and indeed 2006-2), if your post code is AB1 2CD, for example, you can input:

AB1 2

[ALD0]

Yeah should be the full lot with 2007-2, I think maybe the CD might be different then?
No Firmware upgrade required for this,although I didn't think the latest version went up to V29 on CD?

This guy's got a mk4 so will have v29.1. I think for mk3 systems the latest version you can load is something like v22.

Hi guys, thanks for the info!
Yep running a mark IV DVD satnav fully updated to v29.1.
I keep hearing that the POSTCODE search function is only available on the latest 2007 - 02 DVD disk, i just want to make sure i get hold of the right disk!!

Thanks for all your help

I've been looking into this too and have been told by several dealers that there isn't a full postcode search on the MINI sat nav? they even contacted MINI to check

might send MINI an email I think

[ALD0]

I still haven't got the 2007-2 disk so unable to confirm, When does the 2007-3 come out or is thatit for 2007 now?

[118]

have sent MINI an email, so will ask them that too when they reply

[S33BBY]

I can't say for definite, but I'm now under the impression that full post code search is not available, even on the 2007-2 disc.

[freddiezb]

Nice one 118,

Seems to be a lot of mixed messages as to the availability of full UK postcode search and on what disk!?. Any info would be great !.

I just checked mine and here is what I found.

I have an MK4 with 2007-1 DVD and I have postal search but only when a specific country is selected. If I select Europe, the "PC" goes away. However, I selected Germany and then dialed in my postal code for the house and it came up as an option.

So, yes, it does work.
