just push the power button and it pauses/mutes. Well it does if your software is above version 100.

Nope - just buy the map DVD (they're often on eBay, but make sure you get an RNS-E one and NOT an MMI one) and shove it in the DVD drive.

If there's newer SW on the map DVD a SW update is automatically carried out - BTW the progress bars move VERY slowly, and can appear to freeze altogether for several minutes, but this is normal.

Spoke to the main dealer who said I cannot update the SW on my RNS-E as its the older unit that has no hard drive?

Got a copy of the 2009 nav disc on its way to me now so ill have a look

Go back and shoot the dealer, and never ever visit them again. That is complete and utter boll**ks! Their total lack of product knowledge means they cannot be trusted with your car.

You update the SW in ANY RNS-E of ANY age simply by inserting a newer map DVD, you can insert the latest 2009_1 DVD into a 2004 build RNS-E and it will update it and work just like a new 2009 RNS-E.
