I've got the M5000 and I know there are a few tweaks needed to get it to work.

Try www.modaco.com and www.windowsmobileforum.com/

I've got the C500 which came with Coilot.

Don't know how I managed without it.

Cheers Guys,

I assume you still had to buy a GPS receiver to run co-pilot?

It came as a kit with the software, GPS receiver and memory card for the phone. I signed up for a two year phone contract and got the Sat-nav bundle for £36.
