A maddening occurence
 

On my 06 4.4 evreytime you get in and turn on the car the sat nav units face will open. This happens every single time and will retract but will continue to open four times. Once it has been closed four times the face will stay closed. It still functions fully save for some bernt out pixels. Has anyone had this problem with their navigation and is there a fix beyond replacing the unit? On a side note id like to meet 2 people and lock them in the tiger cage at mgm; the idiot at BMW who thought using this outdated, tape player was a good idea in their top of the line suv, and the person who designed it.

Take it easy.. There's a fix for everything.

Have you checked the fuses? How old is your battery? Those are the first two places I would start..

I concur with Naz, the minute the batt starts getting low, strange things start to happen.

Battery is less than 6 mos old and I have not checked any fuses.ill check them today.

Fuses are fine.

Ok so wait, i should have asked this first. When you first get in, the Screen is in the closed position correct?

As soon as you turn the X on, the screen flips out, correct?

Now do you have to push the button to close the unit or does it close on its own?

After it closes, it opens on its own again? Until it hit the fourth time, then acts normally?

Also, please put your information in your signature.

Lol, subscribed. This is new.

Correct.

have you tried putting a tape in. I'm curious if the brain is thinking that it wants to eject it. Try it.

I have tried the tape thing. Same situation.
