When you say new, do you mean brand new, or new to you.
When I get new controllers at work, they have no firmware/ software in them so I have to flash the relevant software on before it will do anything.
Where did you buy it from ?

BMW E83 X3.  3.0d M Sport, 2008 in black ( now gone )

Is this Paul? Is it the screen you bought from me?!

Did this replace a broken screen or the non Nav radio?

Hi yes , all what was wrong with  my one it had a lot of pixels missing,  so I bought a eonon  radio with sat nav and so on fitted
That no problems but takes along time to boot up so I thought  I would put the original one back in, that's why I bought your one,
My original one  has sat nav tv Bluetooth  so it should be a straight swop (so I thought)

I would’ve thought so too, unless something had happened to the rest of the system during the period you had the Eonin fitted.
