Re: Nav screen frozen...

The video shown is not of the nav screen but the tv module it has taken over running the show as your nav computer has thrown a wobbler i would disconnect the battery and try again.

Re: 2004 bmw x5 e53 parking sensor issues

Re: 2004 bmw x5 e53 parking sensor issues

Check the connector in the rear of the vehicle under the boot floor,mines had a towbar fitted and someone didn't connect it back up and same as a friend of mines had same issue,the plug is under the floor to the r/hand side.

Re: Weird nav screen?

When the nav computer throws a wobbler the system reverts back to the tv module running the show,check all connectors or maybe ur nav computer is on its way out.
