The monochrome screen is based in a different location to the colour screen, from what I recall.
In the Ulysse we owned, the colour screen was right on top of the dash.

This is also a small screen but apparently colour, I don't know how to find out whether I have can-BUS or van-Bus.
Cheers for the replies so far.

The green screen shown above is for the Climate Control, nothing to do with Sat Nav.

Are the early models VAN bus - our was a 53 plate and a CAN bus, so I believe yours must be a CAN bus. It is hard to think back :chin:
yes I know the small screen is the climate control but he is also selling the small screen that sits under the clocks but is saying its colour has he made a mistake, really don't want to spend the money on the wrong unit, really appreciate the help guys.
Hi,
I would suggest he has made an error, the screen he has pictured looks like the monochrome version (Same one fitted to my 54 plate and is definately not colour). However this should still be compatable with your vehicle. You don't say which screen your vehicle is fitted with or is it missing more than just the rt3 unit?

Whereabouts in your car is this blank screen??
Some you can change bulb others you cant, very expensive!

I'd love to know how? Ours has vertical lines - very like one of our XMs in the past. However, how do you get to take the monochrome screen out? Where to start? Thanks!
to take the monochrome screen out lif up both lids on the dash grab both sides of where the screen is in its casing and lift it up its only on clips once lifed remove the plug that powers it and the whole thing is removed behind the panel there are 2 screws remove them and your screen will come out

Many thanks - I'll have a go. I'm told the C5 uses the same screen, may be others.

Thanks again - seriously easy to remove - except for the plug... The socket has a little brown tang on one side, but tweaking it one way and the other does not allow me to pull the plug out. Obviously there's a knack? (Which as yet I don't have.)
