Hi there i am new to this so please be nice😀

I have a Ford C-Max 2011 1.6 Zetec Tdci

the car is basic so i upgraded the stereo and screen because of the DAB was bad on the old unit 

I was reading that it is possible to upgrade the dashboard instrument cluster

Could i get Snatnav on my car by replacing the cluster? i use my phone and its so annoying 

what would i need eg new dashboard / type 

is it possible on my car is it easy like replacing the stereo  

Thank you for any advise

    No, the SatNav system is usually part of the radio. On some cars there is a small repeater screen on the instrument cluster which gives basic turn info.

    If you up grade your radio to one that has SatNav then you can do it.

    thank you for you reply

     i don't think the stereo is snatnav so there goes my epic plan at masking my life 😄

    do you think its worth changing the dashboard  on the old girl for a few extra features 

     

    thank you again for your reply

    Truthfully, No.

    I'm not sure what method of control/communications a 2011 C-Max uses, but I suspect it is not the same as latter models. Changing the instrument cluster is very unlikely to be Plug 'n' Play.
