Default Origin B2 nicked

Pretty sure it's been half inched.

Car was towed into a garage back in Oct whilst i was away on hols.

I hadn't installed the unit as I couldn't find anything to stick it down with, so it was sat in the glove box (pretty sure it was anyway). Forgot about it

Thought i would have a nother go last weekend. Managed to find some old velcro fasteners, "plumbed in" all the wiring, went to get the B2 out of the glove box-not there.

Sat Nav cd disappeared as well.

And the feckers have the audacity to charge

Flat/dead battery

Coupled with a blown fuse on the fuel pump.

Above also screwed the electrics up.

Wouldn't have had this problem with an S.

No

But, having little working and historical knowledge of the car I shat myself.

Thought the fuel pump had gone and for a short moment thought might be a problem with the engine

Nige, if you want to flog the kit to fit the Origin, I'd be interested (if that hasn't gone too!) as I need a kit for 2nd car

That'd be cool Ian. With a bit of luck it should house that cheap B2 you got from that lad who was on the BMW forum.
