16:9 screen issue

[gavcowan]

Hello All

Please Help! I have a 2001 X5 with full sat nav, cd etc. it originally had the 4:3 screen with tape deck at the side. I have met with a guy locally who is selling a 16:9 widescreen version and know from looking through this site that it is straight forward to retrofit.

I met with the guy who had used it in his 7 series but it has been sitting in his gargage for a year. When we plugged it into my X5 the menu screen etc appears as normal but you can just make things out, the whole picture just constanly scrolls across the screen at an angle and varies from slow to fast!

When swapping back to the original it works perfect. We left the 16:9 monitor in the house for a week to warm up/dry out, if needed, but still no joy. I have been driving about for 2 days now and the problem has not got any better.

The guy assures me it was working fine and we have no other way to test if it is still ok or if the fault is with my car?

Any help what so ever would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Gavin.
