Bought a 2012/2013 satnav dvd from ebay advertised as 'original, used' but after a week it stopped working, and after reading various threads determined that it was in fact a copy. Seller was apologetic, claiming it was supplied from MB dealer and he wasn't aware it was a copy, and refunded my money without quibble.
Call me a mug, for perhaps having too much faith in my fellow man, but same person was also advertising the later disc, 2013/2014, same description. I emailed and asked specifically if it was original and not a copy, and was assured it was. Seller had blocked me, however, so I was suspicious, but thought, what the hell, and got my son to buy it...and you guessed it, another copy. Which I tried and won't work. It's updated the system, and shows the map now and again, but won't navigate.
So, what can I do now to get my satnav back? (Don't worry about the ebay thing, that's being dealt with). I understand I can't 'regress' so am I stuck with paying the huge price of a MB supplied up-to-date disc?
