Navigation screen gone Red

blum81 · 05-17-2010, 10:59 PM

So this strange thing has been happening with my Nav screen and it happens at random times. I've brought it into the dealership once already, and they changed a cable but at the time, I could only describe the screen as being red, but since it happened again I took a pic on my blackberry.

Has this happened to anyone before?

For some reason the CIC quit sending the video signal to the screen.

The last time I took my car for service, they put me in a 335 loaner that kept doing this every 3 minutes. All the settings were frozen and audio was turned on and stuck at one effed up station. Every 3 minutes, the screen would turn red and reboot the iDrive system. Navigation or any other controls, not even the volume knob would work. I took the loaner back to the dealership immediately and they told me they were aware of it and asked me to keep driving. It was so annoying that I couldn't care less for the 335i loaner and couldn't wait to get my car back.

I have read that there is a software update that may fix this issue, but I am not sure.
