Green tint on Nav Screen
 

Hi All
I have an '04 X5 3.0i with Nav. Recently, my screen have been displaying a green tint over the map display. It was intermittent at first then have become the predominant condition. I can still read the maps under the green tint so it is not affecting the display of the streets and icons.

Sometimes, it switches back to the normal gray/blue screen but I am not sure what causes this to happen.

I installed a copy of V31 to see if it was the software but no change.

Has anyone had an experience with this condition?
Do you think it is in the screen or the hardware that drives the screen display? (I hope it is not the screen display assy/ it cost as much as the Nav system!)

check your video signal wires (RGsB) and make sure all contacts are solid. It maybe that your Red or Blue lines are coming in and out.

hi i have got the same problem were abouts are these leads you have to put in as i would like do try this

thanks

I would also like to know the location of these connectors as I am having the same issue. Thanks!

any one no were these are any help would be great

thanks

went back to normal last night for a bit then went to yellow again. some one please help

check all the pins, especially the middle 3 pairs on the blue connector of your main harnessthat plugs into the back of your navigation unit and your board monitor.

thanks la sean. dose this mean takink the unit out or the nav bit that is in the boot

thanks you

thanks la sean. dose this mean takink the unit in the front or the nav bit that is in the boot

thanks you

both. wait for the nav in the boot to completly shut down, then pull it out and unplug the blue connector and check the pins. plug it back and see if the issue is resolved. If not, then pull the board monitor out and do the same thing.

thanks la sean

checked the cables in the back took out all looked good put back in an no change so will have to look at the monator in the front

hi just come back from a 500 mile round trip and the screen has gone back to normall. im thinking that it has gone back as my battery is fully charged now and giving a lot of power. would this make a differenc?

thanks

no. If your battery is low like when you have the car on Accessory for a long time in your garage, the screen will not turn on at all.
How did ti come to be normal? did you hit a bump on the road. did it happen in during driving?

Na stoped at a garage tuned back on and it was fine. its a strange one

so after a week its gone back to yellow

man this is weird
