I found one for £30 on eBay - great investment... really easy to use and then you know what is up and can research independently (on Google) :D :D

Re: Sat nav card not detected

Hi Mikeyf, I was supplied with a new card when they replaced the interface, I am not sure if they are coupled to each interface or not, or some coding is required hopefully not. Maybe someone here should be able to offer some guidance. Each SD Card is tied to the VIN Number - so buying a second han...
