And I'd say is more than a fair chance that's why it doesn't work ! Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Ah right , im on my fone pal and not really got a grip of uploading direct , im trying to see if cleaning it up will help ( doubt it ) the nav now flashes power led where before it was steady red on

Take the lot out -- all units, get lots of contact cleaner and a soft tooth brush, clean everywhere, take the boards out of the boxes, leave to dry in an airing cupboard after using the contact cleaner, reassemble and plug back in, you may just be lucky.

I have to re-manufacture some pin connections on mine, but all worked well after that Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Ok pal , ive thoroughly cleaned it , it was the last unit as id done the others
I hope i am but if not i reckon i will have to go android , cant see me getting a good nav unit cheap ??

You can upgrade the CD nav unit to a BMW DVD unit know as a mark 4 -- up to date discs are available for that -- simple swap just wait for everything to sleep disconnect the CD unit, connect the DVD unit Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Cool , least i know what i need , is there any significance in the nav player power light flashing pal ?? You mentioned thing need to go to sleep etc

I think when it's flashing it just means there's something wrong somewhere -- open the boot leave the car for 10 to 15 mins then unplug units, if you don't leave all the units to go to sleep they can screw up when disconnecting Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

quick question guys , ive been offered a MK4 DVD player that doesn't read the disc anymore , im not worried about the NAV part but will it still be good enough to get the stereo working again ???

I think you'd have to ask yourself why it doesn't read discs -- if part of it is failing then all of it might! Current: 2011 FFRR Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
