Cheers umbertob - I have just emailed them to ensure that the disc available online @ £129 plus vat & shipping is going to be an updated version to that installed in my sept 2005 model?

Must admit I have used my satnav about half a dozen times , but, when I have ..... I have used the postcode entry as means of identity.

I used to use my satnav lots and the postcode entry was invaluable. I actually prefer the way the BMW satnav looks to be honest but the only postcode entry you can do is the first 4 characters, not the whole 6. That gets you to an area and it then prompts you for streetname etc, which is no good to man nor beast. The touchscreen ability to type things in is much better than having to pi** about with the iDrive wheel too... so is iDrive crap? No it's not... but that's another argument

Similar system is used in Audis - but as you say the touch screen of LR / Jag is really the better option for satnav.

Bish, loading the updated DVD (I assume it will be the same version that ships with MY07 RRSs, if you look at the description of the new disc it says it has listings for movie theaters, coffee houses, etc., which are not included in my version, a 07/05 build) will most likely disable your 1791 "hack", if you care...

Thanks for the tip. I tried pulling on the 'guard' at the bottom of the seat but as it didn't budge, I stopped pulling. When the new disc gets here I'll just pull a damn site harder. BTW, what's with all of the wiring spaghetti down there. LR needs to clean that up at the factory.

Regarding the disabled 1791 hack, mine is only a (somewhat educated) guess based on the fact that: a) New European map DVDs loaded on 06 LR3/Disco3s and RRSs have reportedly disabled the hack code permanently, and b) The hack is no longer working on any MY07 RRS (and FFRR and LR3) sold in North America. I assume 07s include the same DVD version Navteq is now offering online. I sure hope I am wrong about this, I guess you will be the first "tester" of my doomsday theory. Let us know how it goes when you get the disc, I would have ordered the update myself were it not because of this possibility. I think the new DVDs do contain the dreaded load.kwi - or loading.kwi or whatever that file name is - that modifies the satnav firmware when you first boot it up, for good. That file is notably absent in my version of the map data DVD.
