I have an old tomtom 700 and had no joy with it at all in the c5. I managed to bag an external antenna thingy off ebay, and it works perfectly now. (which is lucky, as the speedo's just broken so it's all I have to tell me how fast I'm going!) The external aerial thing doesn't need to be outside th car, it seems to work ok even through the metal by virtue of just being a far better thing than the one inside the unit. They seem to go for £10-£15 ish complete with the bit that attaches to the unit.

Another saab man here. My 1992 9000 turbo (auto) averaged low 20s at best. My 2001 9-3 2.2 td averaged low 40s iirc. I now have an '02 C5 2.0 hdi (110) estate which at best gets 41mpg on a run. General average over a week for me is about 35. I'm pretty disappointed with it tbh, as I'm sure my old 1.9 td xantia was noticeably better on fuel and quicker. Aside from that it's a lovely bus, on a par with the 9000 for comfort and space, which not many things are.

2002 (MkI) C5 - is changing the head unit going to be a headache? I've read through all these but can't find one that relates to C5. I'm guessing if I want to put a new non-sh1troen head unit in, it'll have to be via a main dealer?
