V35 Nav Screen

[nizmo_freek]

Hey guys

Just got myself a 2005 350gt sedan, car is amazing but am having a few intermittent issues with the NAV screen at the moment

This only happens sometimes but the problem is this, when the nav screen pops up it will pop up with a black screen then go back down after about 3 secs, it only does this sometimes.

The car dealer i purchased the car from has agreed to pay to get this fixed but i dont think there will be anyone around my area thats had experience with these, he did say the nav screen was working when he had the car, but before he had the car delivered to me he had an fm band expander fitted and the ETC toll card reader removed (this was an aftermarket ETC, not the standard optional one), he seems to think there may be a lose wire/connection somewhere there from when this was done, the car also had a flat battery when it arrived from what i was told (not sure if this would affect it at all)

Has anyone had the same problem before? if so what was the solution?

The screen seems to be working fine today lol, any help would be great.

Cheers

Yep - my 2005 coupe does that occasionally on a hot day. I suspect the button on the top sticks. A couple of taps after it's cooled down and all seems OK again.

The screen has been working all day today, hasnt popped back down after 3 secs like it has been doing the past few days.

It now stays up but displays these messages and will sometimes goes black/blank.

This is what the screen has been showing, anyone know what they mean? last pic looks like a symbol for a cd?

i usually see these when i turn off my car, assuming these are the standard power off messages for the nav screen.....

Actually it does seem to be worse on a hotter/sunnier day, seems to not fault on cooler/darker days

Might not be 100% correct but hope it helps..

The first screen says "if you want to turn off the screen, press **** button again" (i think the button its referring to should look like the first two characters of the message)

Second screen "please insert disc"

third screen "press that button (on the left )to turn off screen and set as screen saver"

Would not having the NAV DVD in the navigation unit possibley be causing my problems?
