It was actually a wrongly wired pin on the loom - no wheel sensor info to the nav computer.

I asked about upgrading to V26 and was told by them it would be £99 + VAT - Jacksons in Jersey did it free AND topped up my oil and washer bottle for free.

Name and shame rip-off dealers thats what I say - sorry but they are taking the p**s if they charge you for this. Perhaps customers would think twice about using them if they are known as rip off merchants.

Hi all, just to let everyone know that I have installed v 26 successfully on my MkIII navigation unit. In principle its seems it updates the screen faster when you have car direction map. ( Instead of north pointing). Other than that I cant see any diff.

Just want to let you know that the last new software-version for MK3 was introduced with v22 (3-1/63)

All versions after v22 did NOT contain any new software for the MK3... Maybe the software on your MK3 was even older than v22...
