The Baojun 510 navigation system cannot be upgraded to Amap navigation. Below are relevant details about the Baojun 510: 1. Powertrain: The Baojun 510 is equipped with a 1.5L high-torque naturally aspirated engine, with the transmission system offering three options: 6MT/5AMT/simulated 8-speed CVT. 2. Exterior Design: The new Baojun 510 measures 4220/1740/1605mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2550mm. The exterior features a redesigned front and rear styling, including a new high-gloss matrix grille paired with LED split-type headlights, while the rear retains conventional halogen tail lights.

I just bought a Baojun 510 and have researched the navigation issue, finding that it can indeed be upgraded to Amap navigation. The factory-installed navigation sometimes updates slowly and isn’t ideal for city driving, so I replaced it myself. The method involves first checking if the car’s system supports external software—the Baojun 510’s screen can generally connect to the Amap app via smartphone projection features like CarPlay or MirrorLink. If not, you can buy a third-party navigation box and install it on the car’s system, available on Taobao for just a few dozen yuan. After the upgrade, the experience is much better: Amap’s real-time traffic updates are accurate, helping avoid congestion, and the navigation voice is clear. Remember to back up the original system before making changes to avoid voiding the warranty. During installation, be careful with wiring to prevent short circuits—it’s safest to ask a friend for help or visit a repair shop. After the upgrade, driving for outings is more hassle-free. I recommend trying it, but avoid disassembling things randomly to prevent damage.

Can the Baojun 510 navigation system be upgraded to Gaode? I think it's entirely feasible—I've done it myself. The factory-installed navigation maps are outdated and often lead to wrong routes, while Gaode offers faster updates and is free. The process involves checking the car's multimedia system compatibility. Most models can directly download the app and connect to a smartphone, or you can install additional hardware. I found an online tutorial, bought an adapter to plug into the USB port, installed the Gaode software, and got it done in 20 minutes. The cost was just a few dozen yuan, much cheaper than a dealership. The benefits include flexible customization and real-time weather alerts. However, the risk is that modifications might void the warranty, especially if the electrical system is altered, so caution is advised. I recommend trying simple smartphone screen mirroring first, and only consider professional installation if that doesn’t work. After the upgrade, the navigation is more accurate, making driving safer and more efficient.

It is feasible to upgrade the Baojun 510's navigation system to AutoNavi. As I drive frequently, I made a simple modification and started using it. The original system's maps were outdated, whereas AutoNavi offers an offline mode that saves data. The usual method involves connecting a smartphone to the car's display and downloading the app. The process is not difficult, costs little, and delivers immediate results.
