I found the harness in the boot which connects to the harness to the monitor at the front and just unplugged it....and that got rid of the flickering screen.

So if you also have Traffic Master module (you will have a TM button where the cup holders are supposed to be in the front) just disconnect the module from the harness in the boot!

Hope this helps you.................

Many thanks for your reply.

Was it really that simple??????

Did you blink happen exactly every 9 seconds?

I do indeed have the TM button to the right of the screen and like you - it doesn't work because I havn't subscribed to it.

Where abouts will I find the TM module and what does it look like? Do you have a picture or know where I might find one?

If this really is the only fault, I shall be putting that replacemnt Navi Monitor I have just bought back on eBay as soon as I get it!

I cannot beleive that a simple fault like that wouldn't be know by BMW!!!
