Have a look here, at the Navteq website, they supply many manufacturers built in systems;

Citroen are a bit more expensive for the same product. Not as much as I thought though. Worth getting the radar warning for the UK for a few £ more (about £7)
Radar warning is illegal in France I believe, hence the list of countries doesn't include it.
I actually got a copy of my last update from a Forum member, complete with the codes but that was back in 2012 I think. I'm not positive, but I don't think the nav discs are one use only, like Windows for a PC (might not be legal for multi use) but it might be worth investigating a share deal with forum members with the same car/system if it is legal to share.

Radar warning is pretty useless as hardly anywhere uses radar speed guns now. They use laser as far as I'm aware.

What? Plod with radar guns? That's a first.

I had a Snooper in my first Xantia, the dash unit detected (well!) Laser guns and I had the separate piece mounted in the nose cone to detect radar - I spent most of my time going up and down motorways. The radar part was useless as it detected all sorts of irrelevant stuff, especially in town. The laser bit saved me on at least 3 occasions .

Now I can't be arsed and just drive slower ..

@ colfrost34 - Hop over to GPSUnderground, you'll be able to download what you need there (Peugeot-Citroen section), free of course

Just a well meant word of warning, do your homework on the necessary operating system update that will be compatible with the newer maps.
Any mods must be done with the engine running, they can take 45 mins and eco mode can toast your sat nav if it cuts in whilst an up date or mod is being made.
Our 2007 updated successfully and we now get blue sky and clouds (on the screen) above the maps, unfortunately it does not predict the weather at the destination.

Good luck

unfortunately it does not predict the weather at the destination.

Much newer devices also don't have that feature ... internet connected devices can get the destination weather in real-time (usually handhelds, Garmin or Navigon mobile phone variant ... probably some others as well)

[Stickyfinger]

Is the Sat Nav good enough to bother with ?, over say a new TomTom etc ?

[Estately]

If that is the route (no pun intended) you are going down, then the average half decent phone will have up dateable sat nav maps, free, with world availability.

In my humble opinion, there is no substitute for a manufacturers fitted navigation system, up to date and fully working.
I've had lots of fitted navs and various Garmin/Tom Tom etc. over the years and there is merit in both. The ability to increase volume and over-ride the car audio system is vital for me as being a bit hard of hearing, I used to miss some directions when I had the radio on and the portable nav didn't mute the sound.
Just my opinion.
I still have a Garmin portable unit in SWOMBO's car and it works fine, but it doesn't look half as good as a fitted system, with all the radio stations and other info.

[Northern_Mike]

Why does one want to know about the weather at the destination? You're going there anyway and if you're already en-route, unless your going to turn back if the weather changes it's pointless information.
