I find myself having to re-write this list of steps every now and again so I feel that it should have a more permanent position in this thread. Please feel free to reference this post in all your posts http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...1125#post81125

It is important to correctly shutdown the Rover SatNav systen (lowline or highline) before you disconnect your cars battery. This stops you accidentally damaging your system. Also, don't assume that all garages know this procedure if you need work done on your car...

Right... here's what to do.

Open bonnet and boot. Open all four doors - just in case you need access.
Switch off the car at the ignition along with all systems (ie lights, stereo etc).
Now wait.
It is important that you do not touch anything (ie window switches, door latches or even the lights) because doing so will 'wake up' the SatNav system and you'll have to wait longer....
Keep an eye on the little red LED on the Nav Computer. Once it goes out and stays out you know the system has shut down.
Again, do not touch anything!
You may now safely disconnect the battery.

Use this procedure whenever you want to disconnect any components of the SatNav system and if you need to disconnect the battery for whatever reason - even if only briefly.

I should also note it is important you do not press any buttons on you're keys when the battery is disconnected as you may risk 'confusing' the key fob and car.

I've been struggling for a while (actually a long while) to get a T69 to work.

I got the connects 2 interface easily enough, but couldn't get a cable for a sensible price. I found a similar Alpine cable and tried it but got nothing. Cartridge would eject, but didn't even check if discs were in the cartridge, and the head unit showed no CD at all.

So I finally found a cable on fleabay for a sensible price, connected it all up, ran out to the car and connected. It worked, hurrah.

Anyway, wasn't fitting it that car but my other. Finally got it in at the weekend, plugged it all up, and the same symptom as before. Load and eject cartridge, nothing else.

Eventually after trying loads of other things, connected the CD to the connects 2 box, before connecting the whole thing to the car. Then it works fine. So the order of connection is vital for it to work!
