Re-coding Nav Unit
Following on from my wanted thread, I've been an idiot.
My sat nav wasn't reading the disc, so I took it apart to clean it. I plugged it back in but wasn't fixed. I then chucked the broken unit, I wrongly assumed a replacement would just plug and play Anyway, I've just picked up a replacement unit on eBay and am looking into getting it coded. The local indy suggests £150/£200 for coding, and it might not even work! Is this something that can be done by anyone with the correct software? If so, is there anyone near Southampton willing to help me out for a bit less cash?! |

That's not what I wanted to read. A new unit is £1300!

It's too late now but Central Services in Essex would probably have fixed the old unit for less than £200.
