Just reading the hand book. Does it have to be set to split screen?
-
Hi all, Been having troubles with my 16:9 sat nav screen in that I couldn't get it to illuminate and display. Finally sorted that by bypassing the Traffic master. Now I'm struggling to get the radio to come on. The orange light doesn't illuminate when I press the volume #####. No sound, no radio channel options now nothing. Doesn't even highlight or let me access "code". Any ideas what it could be now? I'm told it could be the radio module so how do i test this? Do I need to enter a code now it has had a new battery Etc? Regards in advance

Gonna start a new thread for the radio issue. It's titled "Radio in-opp / radio code?"

Managed to sort the screen. Took it to a BMW specialist in Sheffield (quarry motors) A guy there got it working for me for £20. Unfortunately, when I got home I tried to tune the radio in and it won't turn on. Screen is brilliant but when i press the volume button to turn the radio on it doesn't do anything and the orange light doesn't come on. All fuses ok. Any ideas? Radio module??

I've repaired the broken wires now. Still no joy.
-
Broken wires ?
-
Wires which are bridged?
-
I think I've found the TM. Black unit with a blue plug and blue socket (joined together?) two black sockets and a loom. There was a black and purple wire broken and a grey wire which doesn't go anywhere? I've pushed the broken wires back into the plug and still nothing. What do I do to bypass it now? Cheers

Hi again. I've got the head unit out, traffic master switch, cd multi changer, sat nav, two silver box's, amp and what I think is possibly the hands free kit. Still can't figure this TA bypass.

I spoke to a technician at BMW's quarry motors in Sheffield. He said the likely cause is to disregard and by pass the traffic assist module. Any idea where this is? He said it is in the left side wall in the loading area or is it the one you have sent me in the image? Where do I by pass it to? Cheers
-
Is it true that the Traffic Assist if not registered can stop the screen / audio working?
-
I've just got the new one and it still doesn't work. I've checked the wiring fuses and relays all ok. I'm told the TA needs bypassing and this could be the fault. What's that all about!

I thought that aswell so I have managed to win one on fleabay. Hoping it will be here Friday. I'm still going to strip the old on and see what I can find.

I am a mechanic and have my own business but I've been told by our electrical suppliers that the sat nav screens are a difficult repair. I might attempt it and if I fail just get a second hand one. If I manage to sort it I could try and do a how to guid with pics. ;-)
-
I know. That's why I'm trying to find a place that will repair them. I've found a few but they don't seem too helpful when I've asked questions. Makes me wonder it their services is any good.

Hi all, does anyone know of a repair center for the 16:9 sat nav sceen and clocks. The pixels have gone so i cant read any messages, mileage or the trip computer on the clocks and the sat nav screen has stopped working so i have no sound. The screen lights up slightly but has no picture. i have read about the pixel ribbons but not sure if i have the equipment to do them, I would appreciate some advice on this topic, Cheers
