250Gt Pop Up Screen

[Hunter_in_a_V35_250GT]

Hey Guys,

my pop up screen is faulty, when you press the button the screen will come all the way up then go straight down, however if i hold the screen inplace it will eventually stay open and display however after a while the screen times out the display shuts off is this a common problem or is this just me?

Also is there any progress with getting the software translated?

Thanks,

Vince

The software is translated, isn't it?

I have a spare unit here if you need it, otherwise perhaps you could pull it apart and clean the mechanism?

I'm thinking with the way he is talking about the popup screen, his car will be a series 2. In which case, no there is no news on the translation yet.

Screen seems a little tricky. There is a function to shut it down somewhere in the menus, but sometimes it just 1/2 way up and decides it wants to go back down. I've only had the issue once in a couple of years ownership, and it sorted itself out.

lol pull apart, man are you crazy lol jks nah im not confident with touching anything in my car, worth getting an auto elec to have a look at it do you think?

Mine did this. It is most likely not a setting (I got each page translated via email) and you don't need to take anything apart.

All you have to do is push your screen down a little bit (say 1-2cm) when it is first going up.

Don't grab it, just push it down quickly and it should stay up and display whatever you want it to display.

It can also have a screen saver function so check if it does this

Unfortunately my screen doesnt stay up unless i hold it up for a sec, then it wont go down untill i restart the car, i tried doing what you said but it wont stay up just goes down, before if i held it up it would eventually power on however it isnt doing this anymore anyone have any more input?

Try pushing it down a bit more when it is first popping up. It will not stay up if you didn't push it down far enough or quick enough.

Don't wait for it to hit the top before pushing it down though and don't hold it up.

Doing this trick resets the winding mechanism's "top" which is where it locks and turns itself on.

I have an extra unit here which is doing the same thing and was going to take it apart and try to implement a manual switch of some sort, but found the easier way

Just so happened that my screen played up tonight. Timing is everything as they say.

* Yes, I know I pushed it down quite a bit more than 2cm... bit overzealous, but it works every time
