Carminat Sat Nav Scree on the blink

Hi

The black and white screen for my Carminat Sat Nav / CD Radio, only shows half of the display and continuously flickers, as if it is trying to display the rest of the screen. Very occasionally it does display a faultless screen, but not often.

Has anyone got any tips on what the problem might be and how do I go about fixing it?

something might be loose in the back of the display,
there is a satnav display head unit for sale on ebay for £70, i asked at the *********** and they said that it is £700 new:eek:.
try checking the cables first, you might have to get it looked at by a ***********...
if no luck then you might need to get it replaced...

sorry i dont have one on my car, i havnt had time to check the Haynes manual to see if it has anything on it.

i was looking at getting one fitted to mine as a upgrade, but the local dealership have stated that it is not a item that can be added as a aftermarket upgrade for me.:mad:

(wont stop me investigating further, just the issue of integrating it into the onboard computer system and wiring loom)


has anyone else got experience with working on these SAT NAVS ???

Hi
Have you solved this as I have the same issue.

I have removed the display and carefully checked it. Connectors were fine and all LED`s were working. when reassembled it did work the next day for 15min. Warning is that the plastic dash / vent surround finish does srcatch easily!!

I have not checked the radio end as I don`t know what type of key I need to extract head unit.

Please advise id you have progressed
