just bought another omega yesterday after selling the mv6 back in november. its a preface lift 3.0 elite.

its got a philips satnav in the dash, when i turn it on it says to insert a cd. ill probably never use it but would be nice to get it working. is it a matter of finding this cd and putting it in cd changer or does it need subscription/license from vauxhall

thanks
jonny

Navteq stopped producing disks for this in around 2008, although due to age of system, the last few map disks for it were quite slow. I seem to recall that the later map disks needed a firmware update.

CDR's knacker these systems quite quickly.  Not sure what versions I have knocking about now, as I've long since removed the CARiN units from my cars.

Just checked, only pressed CD I have is 1998. A 14yr old map is pretty pointless.

Burning at a slow speed on a top quality writer using top quality media may reduce the strain on the laser, but it will still knacker it

14 year old map is pretty out dated even her in northern ireland. but it is only to get it working for the novelty of it
