- C270 CDI W230
Greetings one and all,
We've just bought an old C270 to use as a second car whilst we are in Spain.
When we viewed the car it had the radio/sat nav unit fitted (Standard ??) but when we tried to use it, it threw up a warning which seemed to indicate that the mapping CD was missing. The dealer said he would sort it.
However, when we collected the car the dealer said the unit was not working and he had replaced it with a working Mercedes radio unit. He said that the sat nav unit was NOT a factory fitted unit and had been retro fitted by one of the previous owners.
I suspect that the unit was factory fitted and he simply didn't want to replace the missing sat nav CD or that the unit was indeed not working but he did not want to spend the cash to rectify the problem.
Does anyone know if there is any way of checking from the chassis number if the sat nav was factory fitted or not ???
Thanks
