2009 X5 Nav Problems

fun ticket · 12-16-2011, 12:11 PM

My "default" screen is a split screen with radio and "map facing north". With increasing frequency, when i start my car, the map portion will not come on and it reverts to the "onboard information" screen. There are selections on that side with one of them being "map facing north" Sometimes the text is white and you can select it and it works, and sometimes it and others are greyed out and you cannot select them. The problem is intermittent but is increasing in frequency.

The radio display portion works fine.

Any ideas or just take it in; probably needs a software flash or something like that?

Known problem with the DVD NAV units on pre-2010 models. I also have 2009, and have had same problem (twice). They replaced it 2 times already. Once at about 17k mi, and again at 27-28k mi. Just bring it to dealer and they will replace the DVD unit under warranty.
