So = the swop was easy enough...
1) Use a thin flat-bladed screwdriver to remove the old housing from the glove-compartment moulding.
2) Disconnect the four cables from the back of the unit.
3) Had to dismantle and cut up the old housing to get the Cigarette lighter section out; and then trim it with a knife to get it back into the new one
4) Four cables back in - and slid back into place.

But the SD card still not recognised!

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.

I found the part number as FK72-10E898-AA

I have had a look at paperwork and card, image attached but no part numbers on it, other than the one on sd card.

Thank you!!

Each SD Card is tied to the VIN Number - so buying a second hand chip will never work...

Also ordered a replacement - anyone know the knack of fitting these? Are they clip out and replace attached wires or will it need a ‘specialist’

See further up - 5-10 min job; no special tools needed.

Update on my card; for no apparent reason the card is now being acknowledged; and has worked successfully for 2 hours now... no idea why
Did find a very nice man on ebay who supplies new cards and can licence them for you: Search on eBay for a seller called "galicja_uk" - person called Andy; very helpful!
