Hi Ron, not sure about satnav although I thought the Carins built in sat nav needed the Philips satnav software?? :( Is your engine size meant to say 2.5 or 3.0 as there are no 3.5 Omega engines...what year is it?

I didn't know they ever made a 3.5! not that it should affect the operation of your SatNav.

I'm not clear here, are you saying that you get no map picture?

Check the CD .. is it reasonably good condition ?? Mine had problems reading the disc, gave similar problems. I copied the disc on the computer at a very slow speed, using verification technology, the re-done disc works fine .. :)
