In that case it's fooked.

It might not be, he says he has DSP - doesn't this make things a little more complex? It should be plug and play with the standard stereo but I think DSP complicates it a tad.

The car is a 2000 model 328 Coupe.

It had the old small screen/tape nav installed from new and MK2 nav computer. It has standard speakers from what I know.

All I have done is literally plug and play all items.

When I select Nav, it asks me to insert disc ( don't have one at moment )

When I scroll thru mode on HU, it gives a Tape option even though HU is a CD one.

HU doesn't recognise CD changer.

No volume on HU and orange tell tale light will not illuminate.

Is the radio module plugged in? What model Radio Module is it, a BM24?

From memory, there were two connector blocks. One being white and one, blue.

What came out of old HU went into new HU.

Where is this module you speak of?

It's in the boot with the rest of the gubbins. It's a small unit about the size of a couple of backup tapes or something.

Would that stop volume coming thru?

I think it could do, as it's what provides all your audio IIRC. Could be wrong though? Worth a check.

Is it only cars with nav that have them?

[paoloh]

It is a BM 24 TMC unit made by Becker.

Only Nav cars have them yes. BM24 should work with a Mk3 Computer though

No, I've gone back to a MK2 and small screen mate.
