Does the F48 have a HDD

Flicking through the brochure I couldnt find any reference to the nav plus having a HDD as part of the system. Am I right in assuming it will be the same as my 2 series professional navigation and will have the drive to copy music on to?

Hi Washy - I have the standard nav package and that doesn't have a hard disk drive (as far as I can tell !).

Sorry to say they aren't the same and there is no HDD.
I have the Navigation Plus 6UP (part of ZNQ package).
Whilst I have never had the 'professional' system I think the 'plus' falls a long way short. I know you can't sent routes / import routes the way you can in the 'prof'.
Also - I'm not sure but you can't give voice commands to the 'plus' without also having the enhanced Bluetooth (something I now regret not ordering but didn't realise at the time!)

Thanks for the replies, It does sound as if it is different from the system in my 2 series.

We have the enhanced bluetooth ordered on ours as Mrs W like to have both her personal and work mibile connected at the same time, so I guess we will get the voice control at least. Even though most of the time it is willfully disobedient....

It appears that most audio/sat systems now do not have a HDD.
I think this is mainly due to changing data storage devices and vibration issues with HDD in vehicles.
My F20 has a large HDD in it but I have very little stored on it.
I couldn't see the point of putting photos or other stuff on it when an Ipad or tablet has a better screen etc etc.
I think it is also because most of us use either a USB drive or mobile phone for our music in the car and not a lot of people know how to use the on board storage.
I just use my IPhone now.
The handy thing is this way I know if the music doesn't come on that I am about leave home without my phone.
I also have all my music backed up on a USB.
I tried that out and it works just fine on the X1 system.
I don't really need the internal drive.
BTW. The screen clarity on the X1 is very good

Interesting! Can you send a destination address from your iPhone to the Nav via connected drive?

From any internet platform you can send a message to the car. In the connected drive portal you can just put a postcode in the subject line and send. It also has a search function for the address and Google map where you can look for a specific place.
When you have sent it to the car, you pick it up in 'Messages' and enter it as a destination and/or save as a new contact where it remains in the vehicle.

I just like to burn a few of my favourite CD's so they are in the car all the time. Looks like time to upgrade the phone to one wth more memory on then.

Just burn your CDs to a USB stick. I have a couple of 32Gb sticks that have different playlist sets, that I use in my F20
