Hello All.

My name is Oliver Phoenix. I hope everyone is well and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I purchased a 2006 Vogue a few days ago. She's a lovely machine with 30,000 on the clock and a full history. Very lucky to have her. She is almost perfect. There is however one problem and I would very much appreciate feedback from the forum. It's a bit of a saga so please bare with me.

The common problem of the sat nav screen freezing up and draining the battery was present so the previous owner took it to his mechanic who couldn't fix it so he has done something to disable the whole unit altogether. The unit is off with only an amber light constantly flashing on the power button. Pressing the power button does nothing. He did this by re-routing the fiber optic cables in the rear left of the boot compartment (all fuses are present so it's definetly been done by re-routing the fiber optics). I am currently trying to return it to how it was when it was broken but I have no idea how the original fiber optic cabling was wired. There is a fiber optic cable that has been removed altogether which is in the boot. There is no connection present on the Bluetooth module either. The way it's been re-routed is so the previous owner could still drive the car without the battery going constantly flat, obviously there is no sound, radio, screen etc. if somebody could kindly take some pictures of their fiber optic wiring so I can see how it is supposed to be I can then return it to standard so I can diagnose and fix the problem properly. I can live with the battery drain in the interim whilst in the process of fixing it. It currently looks like this (picture below). I am located near Marlow and if anybody is close by I could come to them to see how it's wired in the flesh. I am on 07496499915 if anyone would be kind enough to whatts app or txt me some pictures? It's a lot to ask from a newbie and I appreciate it may come across a bit cheeky. I have checked for pictures online but nothing is clear enough to show the routing of the fiber optics. I would go to the garage that did it but that particular mechanic has been dismissed after one too many customers complained about shoddy workmanship (garage is an Indy and by no means any kind of specialist). I just want to return it to standard so I can fix it and replace things if neccassary. Thank you everyone in advance.

I've looked at rave but it specifies that it's only for models up to 2004? Mines a 2006 so not
Sure it would include the MOST ring schematic/diagram.

I have power to the unit now (frozen in the rr logo screen) but my MOST ring connections are still hooked up incorrectly. I need to return it to standard so I can fix it hopefully using the method of bypassing the Bluetooth but I need to return it to how it should be first.

If somebody could please take a few pics of their MOST ring I could use for reference to return it to standard I would be extremely grateful!
