Mazda 5 Sat Nav DVD Search

Options

I have just brought a 2nd hand Mazda 5 MPV with a inbuilt Sat Nav system. When I brought the car it did not have the Sat Nav DVD I am trying to find where/how I can get hold of the DVD on a 55 plate 2006 model.

I have spoken to the dealership and they have quoted me £220 ex VAT which I think is far to expensive for a CD/DVD when I paid extra to have the inbuilt system in the car. Can anyone help?

    Not any on Fleabay, not even copies.

    The 5 satnav system comes with about 4 DVD discs for Europe, although 2 of them seem to cover the UK.

    You bought it new or used? I'm confused...

    Where did you bring it from?
    Why not just forget the inbuilt unit bruy a basic TomTom or similar which will cost much less than the discs probably will anyway?

    defeats the whole point of buying the car with a built in?? which was one of the things I really liked about the car. No treat of getting window smash to steal a £100 tom tom, no wires etc etc

    If it was me buying it and it had no disc then I personally wouldnt have paid extra for it.

    Was it from a dealer or private?

    This forum is about saving money, not about breaking the law. If the car was missing a spare wheel, would you go and steal one from another car?

    Why don't you go back to the garage/person that you purchased the vehicle from? Or else stump up the £220 + VAT and buy a legal copy of the disk.
