  1. HI. Allegedly my system is a MK IV, I wonder if the discs I have are correct. But I'll try the new ones when they arrive and update this thread. TBH I usually use my phone for Nav these days (WAZE), it's just the language issue that started this process off.
  2. Pleased to advise the satnavupgrades chap confirmed the diagnosis. New discs en route for £ 25. Thank you again for your help chaps!
  3. I have 2 discs. First is labelled NAVI software System 1:8.0 / Mk2 System / Mk3 Top 6.3/ Mk 3 Rad 5.1 2nd Map disk 2019 High. Discs came with car but look as if they are copies. Tried reinstalling it, option for language came up, but no change. No speed camera function. No SET option. No language option on screen I understand I need the install disc for Mk IV from what Autotech are telling me. I will try the satnavupgrades company Thank you both for your assistance.
  4. I'm not getting the option "Language" on my screen.
  5. Thank you for your reply. I believe Autotech tried to reset it using the diagnostic equipment they have, the option for English is there but will not select. I will try it your way and advise.
  6. Hi all. Newby asking for help, probably not for the last time! I have a 2005 4.8iS which has covered 33000 miles in it's life. I recently had the gearbox software upgraded by Autotech Performance in Telford (an excellent place to take your cars by the way) but we have a problem. There is apparently a disparity in the SATNAV (MkIV) firmware that is in conflict with the gearbox which manifests as my display screen in the main instrument cluster speaking French! (e.g Seatbelt, Lights on etc). We believe an update to the firmware on the Satnav will fix the issue as Autotech tested this theory by using a Satnav unit from a similar aged car was known to have been upgraded. Problem is we don't have the disc. Can anyone help? Is it downloadable? DOes anyone have a disc I could buy or get a copy of? Any help gratefully received.
