Pete,

On the stereo unit do you have a dark button? if so try pressing that for about 10 seconds, it should dry boot the system, the only other things is to try over a couple of days, mine throws a dickie fit every now and then and refuses to work.

Leave the disc in and drive round with it for a couple of days........

If that doesn't work then I've no idea

The RT3 sat nav is a newer system and I had a feeling that the disc wouldn't work.

I have the earlier version which has a CD player in a compartment by my right knee. The disc from this system may work.

Of course, I knew there was something I'd forgotten

Hi Again

Does anyone know what the proper disc is for my car ive just seen this one on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEIMANS-NAVTE ... 0713941849

Would this work ?

One of the part numbers on your link above is the same as the number on the link I posted earlier so, this disc will most likely work.

Compare your link to my earlier link and see what you think.

If it were me I'd go for it. £27.50 is at stake.

It's up to you.

Taken out of context , it was an inverse comment aimed at no - one apart from myself who sometimes forgets the value other peoples good nature . I was not trying to be cute at your expense - sorry.
Your comments are indeed valid , I have yet to find a better bunch of stand up guys than on here , thankfully.

This is leading me to wonder if the head unit is faulty or if the heads in the unit are filthy??

Mines has a tendacy to 'click' when you insert the disc, this tells me that the disc won't play, and to try it again, sometimes it can take 3 or 4 goes before it works. I usually, just keep ejecting it and reinseting it.

Hi Steve

you could be right ill have to try and clean the heads i did think of this myself but it read your disc and came up with the disc unreadable on this new disc kevin sent it just says disc missing now im coming into a new area here there is a colour unit for a c5 available on eBay do you think it would fit my car if i brought it or would i need to do so many changes it wouldn't be worth it

you can see it here
