Actually it was not the carpc that didn't boot up but rather the video interface between the computer and the navigation unit in addition to NAV screen. We were still able to listen to music but had to work the PC controls blindly but at the time all I really cared about was the NAV monitor display which did work after pulling and replacing the fuses.

KiwiJochen,

Not sure which SW I am using. Thank you for the suggestion.

This is the first time that I have seen this happen.

It was a bit humorous in that I originally planned on leaving earlier in the morning (0800-0900) had everything all packed and ready. I had moved the vehicle to make it easier to pack. Everything was working fine (carpc and nav). About 20 minutes later starting the car to leave noticed nav screen didn't pop up. Panic set in for just a few minutes until I pulled the fuses. You get used to the NAV display and didn't want to drive for two days without it.

Relating to NAV FW: Not sure which version I am using. I just remember modding it a bit with new graphics and new bootup screen a couple of years back. It was the firmware which took the DVD to higher capacity DVD reading (4.7 to 9.4 G). I am guessing I can do same with current FW version eh?

The trip was excellent in the E83. 2400 miles round trip. 75% mostly thru snow. Vehicle handled great and was very comfortable. I haven't driven down to FL in about 20 years. Here are a couple of pics. 1st one is moonlight picture in FL and second one is at a place called Monteagle, TN near the Smokey mountains which was our halfway point. About one hour or so South of Monteagle we hit a blizzard in the mountains. It was interesting and enjoyable driving. I guess it doesn't snow too often there in Tennessee.
