458 NEW 458 Infotaiment system (upgrade)

Just purchased a 458 that had this Adaptiv system in it. It is horrific. The GPS is stuck on and I can't turn it off. I can't get music to play through it. The touch pad has a mind of its own and works about 50% of the time and never when the car is moving! I'm actually investigating the cost of having this virus removed from my car.

 

You can shut it down so it's not on without removing it, I can't remember how to do it as I had it stripped out but, there is a way of exiting it and then you can use the car normally as it does not replace the factory system just adds to it.

Thanks PTG1 for the advice. I’ll ask my local dealer how to shut it down.

 

Hello! I have this system but new to the car!!! Currently I have the OEM navigation on with key start but seem to have the centre console thing giving me constant directions etc... how do I access the centre console navigation screens from startup??? Your advice would be much appreciated as it's driving me mad!!

I need to know how to do this

 

What a shame...such a good opportunity wasted. Well for now at least. I assume its still a buggy mess?

 

I am in the UK and looked into this genuine ferrari upgrade but can't see its worth the money. A bovee linked to a smartphone running Google maps and Spotify works far better. A specialist car Audio company can do a very high end sound upgrade. Which involves and amp or 2 depending on your budget, high quality door speakers and dash tweeters with crossovers. And lots of sound deadening in the doors. I have a system like this in another car or mine and the sound quality is unbelievable your looking at between £2400 and £3400 in the UK

 

Sorry meant to say and a sub

 

What is a “bovee linked to a smartphone”

 

Yes it goes in the ipod plug and you can use Google maps and Spotify through your speakers although you have to operate it from your phone. I have Samsung it works well but drops the connection if you switch to another source or every time you turn the car off but doesn't take a few seconds to manually reconnect. I believe it works a lot better with Apple

 

Soo, very old thread and sorry for resurrecting it.
But would it be possible to somehow get Apple CarPlay on the upgraded system? It seems like the software is utter rubbish but maybe it can be adapted for Apple CarPlay instead?

 

Have been looking at this. Couple of options from this company including
- Hardwired bluetooth dongle (vs using iPod adapter and a Bovee/Invery)
- Pull the 458 audio/NIT and replace with version from the 488
- Apple CarPlay mod

Looks pretty cool!

Would love to hear if someone gets this to work.

 

Adding this to my todo list! Apple Maps via CarPlay will be way better than the original nav.

 

I just purchased this module off eBay (a few hundred dollars cheaper than the link above). Will report back how it works when it arrives and I install it.
