Now just to throw more wood on the fire, my C6 has the RT3 as well, but there again it is one of the early ones and that has the 6.6xx software, will have to check later when I leave work.

according to eurovan2 c5 series 1 are all van, if you check your software version and its 5.x its a van system

c5 series 2 are can system and agin if you check the software version it should be 6.x

if its 5.x you need the 5.52a update and if its 6.x you need the 6.62 build 881 update :)

It's on a 53 plate so i would imagine it's a mk1.
I as far as im aware you cant mix & match the sortware types between the different units as it will render the units unusable. Have never tried to test this theory as the units are over £1000 new.
If unsure check the software version in the menu
5.xx = VAN/CAN RT3
6.xx = CAN/CAN RT3
7.xx = RT4 (only comes in CAN/CAN)
The latest models use a new system called RNEG but lets not go there just now :lol:

It should also be mentioned that, with the latest version 5.5 software, you can also take advantage of the audio input in the glovebox for plugging in a mp3 or other player for use on the move, although this feature will need enabling with a lexia. You can also play mp3 discs using the head unit, though not at the same time as navigating! If I recall, there is also a feature which will warn you of any traffic problems on a route that you have programmed into the nav system.

Would i be right in saying only the audio inputs are available on the move & not the video input?

Only the audio is available on the move, the video is disabled above 5kph for legal reasons. The audio is accessed via a convoluted route through the menu, the path of which I cannot remember. I think the details are available on the EV2 website. I'm fairly sure that the function has to be enabled via Lexia though, when I requested my dealer perform this action for me I was met by blank expressions! It all worked fine, though. Fortunately, the function is available from the outset on my C6 with Version 6.6 software.
