Hello,
I'm just about to come over from 8L to B6 ownership and am just about to sink a deposit on a '52 plate 1.9 TDI quattro.
The seller says "factory fitted satnav" but it looks too new to me; a call to Audi to quote the chassis No. reveals the car didn't and could never have come with this generation of unit. I e-mailed a shot to a guy at Audi and he was blown away that something so modern could be fitted to a '52 plate.
When I went to see the car the navigation was doing something but there was no detail; just an arrow moving around on a blank map...
Seller says to me "oh, yeah I need to get a UK disc- this one is just Europe..."
As I understand it, the Europe discs incorporate the UK as well. Looking into it on eBay, I find a guy selling an "identical" unit who says "as this unit has been removed from another car it will need decoded..."
Am I about to buy something that half works as it needs reprogramming? And what are my chances of getting that done??
Anybody??!
Thanks
