If you mean updating the satnav data, then usually this map data is on an SD card that is located in a card slot within the infotainment system. The newest maps for your system can be purchased from the dealer or usually much cheaper on Fleabay, etc.

At the moment it doesnt have the sat nav option
IS it just the case of a sd card inserting

You've not advised the system details but generally...

To summarise:
1. Usually you can’t retrofit navigation software to a non-Navi version.
2. You might be able to install 3rd party apps such as Sygic, Google Maps, Co-pilot,etc. but it can be complicated. Plus you may have to bypass IIRC, that procedure involves hacking the system to remove the settings that prevent you illegally displaying video whilst driving.

It’s far easier to get a stand-alone satnav or a decent holder for a mobile phone and use that for navigation and hands-free.

If you have android phone and like Google maps then fine. I would also consider installing the Sygic nav app Read HERE
.... as maps work without a phone signal.
