Hi,

just a word of warning to anyone potientially looking to purchase an MFD2 from E-BAY. i purchased one from niki777 on E-BAY on the 13th of march, after 2 weeks and 5 e-mails asking for a progress report, still no sat nav nor reply. i eventually contacted E-Bay complaining as 17 days later, i'd received nothing. this seller based in Lithuania requires payment through bank transfer which i was jubious of but still went ahead. i eventually receieved the unit which was execellently packaged and after guidance from VRStu on fitting got it installed without problems tonight. the unit looks great and with the exception of the missing new trim which i still have to get. i tried the unit out tonight and found it difficult to get what i thought was basic addresses but again thanks to VRStu advice found out that i'd been sent a 2002 disc even after that the seller told me it was a 2006 disc.

so lesson learnt for me and i'd thought i'd share it with others on the site.

one question i do have is where can i get a 2006-7 disc?

The post from Lithuania does seem to take some time, I seem to remember a reasonable wait when I got mine.

You can buy the disk from tele-atlas online.

I'm unclear as to what the warning was. :confused:

Sorry if i didn't make it clear.

none existant communication with seller tied in with the fact i had to get E-bay involved before i received the item.

kinda goes against the ethos and principal of E-bay.

I think it's simply to make buyers aware of long lead times for delivery.

Some Lithuanian sellers claim they can't take Paypal. My MFD2 came from Lithuania but the sale was facilitated by a guy in the US who happily took Paypal. I wouldn't buy a high value item with a bank transfer on eBay.

My unit arrived in about 3 working days (eBay seller - autopark777) and cost me £249
