at least yours is high spec
I've had the misfortune of driving cars where the steering wheel is made of that horrible plastic. It's so nasty. Not like the glorious leather steering wheel in my Seat.

I know, but if anything
it kind of makes it worse with the bits of shitty trim they don't upgrade?

that and whoever dictated that Saab inbuilt sat-navs shouldn't take postcodes needs a fucking solid cunting in the murray. I'm pretty sure googling mapping postcodes to get addresses whilst driving isn't "being 100% in control of the vehicle"

it doesn't make a great deal of sense.
the satnav thing is pretty fucking stupid as well. I've only driven one car with satnav and that was a Focus I had the other week. Definitely seems like a dangerous thing to be operating while driving.

That is quite strange
since pretty much every sat nav you can buy separately will happily take post codes.

The reason is actually fairly obvious
Saab satnav is europe-wide and sold in every country. not using postcodes means they don't have to code for different country's systems I assume?

Is it hard coded then?
I thought most used a DVD containing all the info they needed, certainly my dads Audi does.

DVD is the same europewide too, I think
it's just laziness but it does kind of make sense

But it's mobile phones that they ban.
