You were correct.
I've actually been thinking that a faster hard drive might actually pep the overall system up a bit.
It's an interesting thought. When booting from cold it takes a good 20-30 seconds or so to load, but after this when restarting the car the boot is almost instant, which suggests that some power is being used to keep stuff in memory. It would almost certainly speed up the jukebox functions though as I doubt they paid extra for a quick drive!
I did a bit of playing around with the unit this evening, pulled out the lower section with the controls on it (where the volume control is) and was surprised to find out this seems to be the controlling part. Pulling a solid metal connector out of the back cut the screen to solid white (not the Maserati logo, just plain white) but the stereo/climate etc was still operational. Does this mean the screen is just a simple display?
A couple of cables looked like they had been caught on the metal and had a bit of their insulation removed, but not down to the point of bare wire and this wouldn't be temp sensitive either! There was an odd connector I couldn't work out, a big square block that looked like a junction block with Citroen/Peugeot written on it! This might have something to do with the Parrot system that was installed though
