After 12 consecutive months of paid service, the customer is eligible to receive a free update of French and German maps for the vehicle's navigation system.

Most the same services provided to Peugeot owners in France will be available to vehicle owners in Germany, including routing services optimized with real-time traffic reports and alternative routes/deviation points, directions to various points of interest, the ability to download these points of interest into the vehicle's navigation system, and the capability to access a personal phone and address directory from the car.

Speed trap alerts, available to French customers, will be available to German customers only when driving in France, this type of service being prohibited in Germany.
