General sat nav buttons not working

[smithy501]

just bought a second hand unit,none of the buttons on the sat nav that i installed are working,they wasn't working before i did the wiring work either,
it switches on with the key and the fiat logo pops up and then it goes straight on to the radio but i cant do anything with the buttons,it never asked me for the code the first time i switched it on either,the radio just came on.
anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
besides it being knackered

Possibly the ribbon cable to the switch panel PCB is disconnected.

cheers,is this an easy or hard thing to rectify?

You need to take the front panel off. I think the switch panel ribbon cable is the grey one in the pictures below.
