hopefully this section gets a little more traction.
Driving around Adelaide last week using the factory sat nav.... all good. met a mobile phone tech guy to install a new hands free unit.... all good. From where this was done I knew where I was going until last Sunday....opps no sat nav...nothing, not a blimp, not a scarek of recognition. What happened.?? 1. Sat nav shait itself? 2. The tech guy somehow cut into something he shouldnt have? 3. Somehow I have turned it off, if so how? I have pressed, held finger on screen for 5 minutes 4. As per SA nothing works forever. Its urgent to get this working, I have a lot of visits to make when next in Adelaide

Hi. If its a vdo (dealer fit or aftermarket) you may find that the phone guy unplugged the power wires so he could connect his phone wires. Depending on how the nav was fitted he may also have disconnected the audio thinking that it was an old hands free kit. If the nav was set up to provide audio through the ICC you might be better off to go back to the phone guy and get him to reconnect the power wires but put an old hands free kit speaker in for the nav and leave his new kit through the ICC. Cheers MD

I have a genuine one fitted in my BA and it comes with a remote. How do you use it? If its touch screen it aint genuine for a BF anyway.

Its part of the ICC, purchased from Fadi
radio works fine, reverse camera works fine Sat nav is zip there is no remote control. There may have been when I first had it installed but always used the touch screen, its very strange that it was working up to meeting the tech guy and next time I go to use it the screen stays blank. Previously when you touched the screen you could see it activating from your fingers touch now its blank.

may be the phone guy removed the ICC but forget to reconnect the NAV/Camera connector under the ICC.
This connection uses a bypass too input direct to tft.

Trouble is he didnt remove the ICC or the surrounds. What he removed was the small spear between steering coloum and centre part of dash

Hi. Even if it is not a VDO nav system it will still need a power source to operate as the nav is an "add on" system, not a unit built in to the ICC. Go back to the phone guy and tell him whats happened and he should be able to fix it. Just ask him to reconnect the power and earth wires but not the mute wire for the nav and put an extension speaker from a phone kit on its speaker output wires. Just have to hope he didnt think it was an old hands free kit and rip it out and bin it on you. Cheers MD
