Guys does anyone have the in built sat nav (blaupunkt?)
The nav itself thinks that it is in the completely wrong place. I am currently in Leicester but it is managing to think it is in newport
Also... is there any way to retrofit bluetooth streaming on an 09 car does anyone know?

Disconnect battery - make sure you have the code for radio, should be in your paperwork - see if it resets the nav.
Think you can retro fit Bluetooth by using a Bluetooth sat nav but not 100% on that.

Don't know if it's any different for the satnav unit, I had the regular 6CD DAB radio I got it about 90% done on my car before I changed the headunit anyways.
You'll need to buy a bluetooth module which goes in behind the glovebox, a microphone which goes in the light housing above the dash, an possibly a patch cable. Then you need to program it in using a ELM cable. There's a tutorial on the STOC forum which goes into all the detail.
Oh sorry, I forgot to mention it already has the blaupunkt sat nav and climate system so it has Bluetooth calling just no phone
Anyway regarding the nav issues... The battery reset didn't work but I rang EH up and they have booked it in to have a look at that and the rear suspension knocking I can hear (which I suspect may be a rear drop link as it is an advisory off the MOT)

Picked up a cheap ST a week or so back its a 2005 ST-2 with 118k on doesn't seem to use any oil or anything and feels solid.
I have it booked in for 6th September for a cambelt and water pump and will change all aux belts and the battery as that seems weak also
After that's its full overhaul of the fluids
Love the car so far. I own a Megane 225 F1 with cup chassis which is definitely the better handling car but the ST feels well put together and there's something about the cabin and driving position I like

Tom I think I recognised you on the fb group when you posted a pic of a Aston?

That was me, now got Fleet of three Aston, 225 F1 Edition and the ST
As per usual I decided to do a couple of things with my car but the other way round from what I was originally thinking.
Still had my bluefin for the Octavia so I'm returning that and having it recoded/ a new one sent out from superchips as I can get a decent discount by doing so
Also going to have a poke around underneath and start refreshing the required suspension components along with trying a stiffer rear engine mount
Likely to then replace either the intercooler or downpipe and look to drop in an lsd either whenever the clutch goes or in the summertime next year.
Unless I get bored and sell the car by then, but at least spend will have been fairly minimal (and I still really like it anyway).

I'm looking at the New Focus, specifially the ST line cars which may have a glimpse on what the ST version might look like, i'm not sure if I like it compared to the current ST Focus

While it looks a very basic site I believe this is the homepage for the guy or team that put elmconfig software together

Had my Volvo S40 T5 windscreen done (same car) with autowipers and they were fine other than the fact it leaked and they had to come out again.
Used them 3 times in recent years and oddly not one has got it right without another call out. Good customer service though, fit another new windscreen FOC each time.
Thanks. It's my own fault I think, I heard a massive stone/object hit the window the other week, had a quick glance when I was driving and couldn't see anything. By the time I got to work I'd forgotten. The crack has started from the bottom right of the screen, clearly from a chip. Had I have looked properly I guess the chip could have been repaired and I wouldn't have to pay £100 to have the screen replaced. Live and learn!
Sucker for the colour and noticed this is available just down the road from me, is it a reasonable price? Over my budget but I just cashed out a load of crypto so within my reach, just about
