There's something that has been bugging me for quite a while now... the E46 has a small screen on the dash which shows stuff like outside temp, radio channel. It also has a satnav box in the boot next to the CD changer. In the satnav box is a CD/DVD with what looks to be a totally fake printed label claiming to be satnav software.

What is the system, and is it worth making it work?

Mine doesn't boot, and the dealer wanted £900 to fix it. I assume that CD is might expensive? The car was registered in 2000 so I think it's a CD rather than DVD....

yeh the cd's are pretty pricey the figure of around £175ish rings a bell, sod paying up 900 quid though there must be another way to reboot it

ive never tried to use it might give it a go when the missus comes back this evening
