any new ideas peeps as i would love to get it working, tried everything now and still nothing just the same message. Sim inserted correct way up and pushed fully in as far as it will go but nothing ?????? could it be a fault with the head unit in the car or something else........

Tried v/fone, tesco and o2 sims in it to no avail  :-/ :'( :'(

Hi, When you put the card in does it 'click' into place? i had a problem with mine where somebody had got a sim (not on card) stuck in there, my sim went in but i could feel an obstuction, i took the other sim out and new one just clicked into place and hey presto! hth    :)

I think at this stage, I would be looking to see if any of teh gold connector springs on the head unit had bent backwards and not engaging with the contacts on the sim

clutching at straws a bit I`m afraid   :-/

The only thing not done is to remove the cassette cartridge for better access to the sim card holder

Glad you got it working :) As i said on a previous thread im struggling with the reception on mine, I have tried changing aerial to an after market one and had no joy, and recently tried a (proper) replacement, but the reception is patchy at best.
What sim did you end up using and what is your reception like?

Wow!!  four bars, i never have that even right next to mast lol,
I have been looking for a signal booster thingy on net but not had any joy.
do you know you can operate the phone via steering wheel controls instead of reaching down to head unit?  :)
