Can still trade whilst in administration.

Why did you buy it from the US for more than the UK price?

Paid $500, they’re £500 here.
 As expected they’ve just said this

As you have purchased the device from a North American online seller and not Bluefin UK, unfortunately we can offer no further assistance.

Just a thought. If you lived in USA how/where would you get the map? From a USA mapper? If so why not see if they can help. It’s just a download.

Maybe software different down to very different emission control over the pond.
Keep looking at a Bluefin.

They said it had nothing to do with purchasing the handset in the US, the handset is just the method to upload / download. Apparently it’s my specific car, not mk7 golf gtis, just my specific one.
I kept pestering them until they gave in, so they have reset it for me.

So means I either keep it till I have a new car or can sell it on. The handset works on any vehicle/Audi/Skoda  2.0 turbo - it’s not locked to the car/model as you email them your map then they email you back one for your car.
