I recently purchased a 23 plate Kona Hybrid Ultimate, last of the old shape and was horrified to find no postcode search option on the satnav. After 50 years in the motor trade I can’t believe that someone has omitted something so fundamental? After nearly 60 years of driving everything from Fords to Ferraris this has come as a major disappointment as some locations I’ve wanted don’t have street names let alone house numbers which are also absent from the satnav installed. I don’t want to have to use Google maps when I’m driving as that app managed to try and send me up a one way street the wrong way in Swindon recently.
My car was main dealer serviced in November 24 so one would assume its software is all up to date. Any clue appreciated as I don’t really want to be changing the car because of something so basic yet quite frankly irritating. I forgive all I said about VAG
I feel for your frustration. However, I think it might be possible.
I have a 2024 Kona so the software may be different. But you may like to try the following.
First I tried the Bluelink app. In that, I just put a postcode into the search box, it showed me to the correct location and offered to send that to the vehicle.
On the car, I called up the map, then touched the address/search box at the bottom centre of the screen. That takes me to a Destination screen. Top right on that is a "Search" button. I select that and type the postcode into the search bar (it seems to work with a space in the middle, or not). The text box on the left says not match found, but, if I tap the "OK" button I get shown the postcode location on the map with the option of saving it or navigating to it.
I hope that helps you.
