The Card (SD CARD) is what contains the Map

will this bring it to life,because when I try to use sat it says needs card,,

The LS RNS system is better known as the Blaupunkt Travelpilot FX. Map data of this system is made by TeleAtlas. Because of this the original SD cards are supplied by Ford Bosch/Blaupunkt and tomtom (who owns TeleAtlas). However prices can differ quite a lot between these three official suppliers.

Next to this the SD-cards are also often offered on eBay. However many SD-cards offered on eBay are not genuine but cheap Chinese copy's. When buying from eBay it is very important to buy from a reputable seller that sells the genuine product. 

 

Also be aware that the genuine SD-cards come with a software upgrade CD to upgrade the software of the Travelpilot FX. Newer SD-cards with map material only work if the Travelpilot FX has recent software. On old software versions of the Travelpilot FX the newer SD-cards will not be recognised.
