Sat nav display Help!!!

[gtxtank]

Hi guys and girls,

I have finally got round to getting a new multi function display to fit my 2001 gtx estate and need to know if it plugs straight in or do I need it coded to the car?? Also how does removal/ refit work ??
Apologies for sounding a bit dumb on these things but I'm new to the 406 world
Thanks

On either side of the MFD screen, you have a pair of rectangular black plastic panels. Prize them out using a screwdriver (gently, so as to avoid scratching the plastic). Behind them is a pair of screws, which you should also remove.

I think that's about it

as highlander says mate. remove the side panels,

if you look at your new unit you can see were the 4 torx screws go

Thanks guys,
Can't wait for the postman to deliver it so I can finally see something other than what radio station I'm listening to or the last digit of the mpg display !!
Might even attempt some satellite navigation, any idea how you can get a newer disc for this without paying a ridiculous amount to the main dealer??
Cheers
G

can i ask where did you get your sat nav display from? Do you have the broken one because i hear some oer on the coupe club have a way of fixing their broken lines, involving cat5 wiring and solder.

Got it on eBay new and boxed !!
When it's fitted I'd happily send it on for someone else to make use of

[FarmerPug]

what did you type into ebay to find it, and if you dont mind me asking, how much was it?

[gtxtank]

Yeh there hard to find on eBay I tried 406 display and just kept hunting till one with sat nav turned up.
It was a total bargain still sealed in original box brand new for ....
...£50 delivered :0)
Thanks to the guys who posted on fitment it was simples!!

[FarmerPug]

yup fitment is easy peasy.
ive got email alerts for all new things matching '406 display' and another 6 different varieties of that name.
But how much would you be looking for your broken screen, id buy it off you and see if i could get it going, something to do with cat5 cabling.

[gtxtank]

If ya wanna buy it you can hav it for a tenner plus postage
Just let me know? I'm in fleet incase your local and wanna come collect or I work in Newbury if that's any help!!

[gtxtank]

Forgot to add it's only missing a few lines on the left side of screen perfectly ok as is but I'm fussy with that kind of thing!!

[FarmerPug]

im way o'er here in northern ireland.
er i can PM you with my postcode and you can calculate the postage but i can pay up to £10 for it aswell
as for the missing lines im not bothered in the slightest, i have no display at all.

[FarmerPug]
