Peugeot Sat Nav

Hi Guys, I have a Peugeot 406 S 110 bhp estate which is on its 3rd Sat Nav
unit. All 3 units have failed with the same fault with the following error
messages: CD ROM Missing, CD ROM Unreadable, Navigation System Initialising (
for up to 3 hours ) also some menu options "greyed out" & occasionally goes
off for no reason.

In all 3 cases I have cleaned the CD and the laser lense without any
improvement. I suspect the problem is related to disk read errors during the
initialising process.

Another question, if a unit is replaced under warranty shouldn't that unit be
covered for a further 12 months as the dealer wants £850 for another
refurbished unit.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would assume that any replacement unit would have it's own guarantee.

Under current consumer legislation, the "Supply of goods and services
regulations 2002" to be precise, any item found faulty within the first 6
months is deemed to have been faulty at the time of supply, unless the
supplier can prove otherwise. And that will require more than him saying
"well it worked when I first switched it on", he would have to show that you
broke it.

If in doubt about the val;idity of this, contact your local Trading
Standards Office. It was the one for the SE which told me the above.

 

Thanks for the info, unfortunately the latest replacement is 7.5 months old &
I don't think I am going to win this one. ... Tom Tom maybe !

Regards

I have the Pug system and have just bought the latest disc
and quite honestly I find the system hopeless, so I have
gone back to my trusty Tom Tom.

When it works its not too bad considering the technology is around 5 years
old but it must be reliable to be of any use. I've just had another play with
it and found that it has a 90% chance of working if I let it initialise
before I start the engine. The unit has a very bad build quality, the CD
transport mech is rubbish considering the bumps and vibration it has to put
up with.

Yes, it should.
