Took that all out yesterday, but didn't go past the plastic, was getting a bit dark, working by boot light! Will gave a go tomorrow. Do you think this unit is my problem ?
Thank you :-)

I contacted one off eBay, he seems like he knows what he's on about, sending it off Monday morning, he's also selling the update disc and maps to me for £30. Sounded good to me, fingers crossed I'll let you know if it all works!

Just a quick bump for the Sound Secure guy mentioned by AW8 earlier in this post.
Had the dreaded amplifier failure, he fixed it but I then realised only 1 speaker was working.
The guy came to my house - from Rochdale to Cheshire - and worked out that the amplifier was fixed correctly, the issue was that someone had deliberately plugged all the wires into the one speaker!
Sorted all this out for me last night, and I had to force some beer money on him for doing the job, he wanted to do it for free!Despite his job (the amplifier repair) being done perfectly.
Was genuinely touched by his effort!
2004 X5 4.4...to do - nothing! wheels refurbed, amplifier fixed, full MOT, living the dream!
E39 5er various AC Schnitzer mods - gone but not forgotten
