bust sat nav

Post by petershamu » Fri Oct 23, 2015 10:12 pm

hi, picking up my car next week.

but i know the sat nav is bust.
radio and everything else seemed to work

screen flickers every now and then but on the test drive it popped up saying sat nav disc i/o read error, or something similar.

question where do i buy a new one and are they easy to fit??

thanks peter

There's a black box, rear nearside panel, with DVD written on it. Pull the unit out from it's cage, unplug the 2 plugs and it will be free.

Send this off to one of these guys that will fix it for about £100.

Alternative is to buy a Mk4 Nav unit from eBay and swap over.
