Re: sat nav
For that year of car, if not updated by the previous owner then it will be the Mk3 CD based unit.

Re: sat nav
Pre-facelift (up to 2003) = Mk3 CD system. Post-facelift = Mk 4 DVD based system by default. Unless replaced.
The Nav disc should also have either a CD or DVD symbol on it - assuming the owner has used the right type.

Re: sat nav
Ok cool i will have a look later, assuming it is still the mk3 in there if i can find an mk4 cheap enough is it worth upgrading?
Re: sat nav
The Mark 4 enables use of the larger maps so you can have the whole of Europe rather than just UK & Ireland. Not sure what other extra functions you can have. If you're not driving outside UK then it might not be such a major thing for you.
I think the DVD just gives you more of everything - including the charge for the new disc.... >:(. (£180!!
