Afternoon, now before you all go "...not another P38 Sat Nav thread!", please hear me out.
I have a 2000 P38 Vogue and it's always bugged me that since getting the car just over a year ago the Sat Nav has never worked. I just get a flash of white on the screen on startup and then kind of a fuzzy black with some small white lines in the bottom left corner.
So, I decided to open up the box in the boot to see if I could find anything obviously wrong.
I have a few questions which I'd really appreciate some help with if you can:
1) What does the SatNav look like on start-up with/without the maps CDROM?
2) Do you think it sounds like my screen is OK and SatNav unit broken (or possibly both?!)
3) Does anyone know what tends to break in these things?
I couldn't see anything obviously wrong when I looked but I'm not really that surprised. Most electronic issues are invisible to the naked eye I suppose.
Anyway, here's what it all looks like inside my unit:
