Last thread today I promise...!
I have a 2001 vogue that appears to have had a factory fit Mk3 system. Its got the usual 4 buttons and knob screen and a Mk3 CD navigation computer in the boot.
On purchase the whole system was dead, I popped the computer out and found it was totally disconnected at the rear. I plugged the connectors back in again and turn on the ignition to be faced with the white screen and a colour "splodge".
The navigation computer had started up but began to eject and then load the disk repeatedly, the screen did flicker once or twice but basically stayed white with the colour splodge.
So it looks like the computer has a corrupt memory, and the screen has got a large fault on the display. (I'm assuming it should be totally white if the computer is dead)
The nav computer is Part No is YIB000110, just to confirm its a Mk3, on the back where the connectors are there is a little sticker which says CON MK3/BMW.
Can I just buy any old MK3 BMW satnav and plug it in and load the original 2001 disk I have rescued from the unit? Or am I best sending mine away for repair? With the screen should I replace this or wait for a working computer just to be sure that the screen does have a fault?
