Hey Guys,


I have a 2006 X5 with the factory navigation unit. Over the last few months my radio and or nav would not work. Here's what it's been doing:

• The radio/nav won't turn on at all and then 15 min later it will
• The radio/nav will be on when I start the car, but cannot be operated with the knobs on the nav unit
• The radio/nav can be off and all of a sudden I'll start getting nav directions from a previous destination and it cannot be stopped
• The radio/nav will work when I start the car, but then will stop working

Thru all of this, the volume and station can be changed from the steering wheel, if the unit is on, but again, not from the radio/nav unit itself.

I took it into the dealer today and they said I need a new nav monitor at $3,100!! When I left the dealership, the unit was working fine, but after turning the car off and then back on, it was up to it's old tricks.

There has got to be an option to paying over $3K or buying a potential problem off E-Bay, yes?

I thank you in advance for your knowledge and assistance.
