Missing PID

[truck967]

I am currently looking to buy a 66 Plate from a national car dealer

Its a Black edition but looking at the showroom photos it appears to have a blanking piece where the PID holder usually goes, just wondering why this is?

I believe most of the cars are ex hire cars so that might have something to do with it.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

PID was discontinued from 16 plates I believe. You know use your phone In the cradle.

But it still has the old style radio/cd player installed, didn't think phones were compatible with this set up

Black Editions came with the PID as standard.

Maybe the previous owner kept it? Unless it states in the description ?

When I pe/exd My Sport I gave the car back with the PID,sadly some owners kept the unit and posted them on EBay etc.

Take it up with the dealer....if the Black Edition came with the PID as part of it's spec, insist on having one.

If part of the spec, even if removable, insist its there.  

You wouldn't accept a car that had a removable rear seat, with it missing.  Or a missing wheel.   Same principle.

 

If he has it in a cupboard to stop someone pinching it, expect it to be refitted.

Thanks for replies everyone, the dealer has 30 citigos available nationally and not one of the photos shows a PID.
