lost Tv function today

Post by bamberjim » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:29 pm

My head unit glitched a little on the way home today and the TV function on the men screen was still there but not lit up so couldn'tselect it, then i stopped for 10 mins and got back in the car and the TV function has now dissapeared from the menu all together..

can any advise if there is a reset for the head unit or any other advice.. have recently had my M54 upgraded not sure if this would affect anything as has been running ok until this evening!

Thanks in advance for any information

Could be as simple as a cable connection come loose, given the recent work on the amp - try to trace and check the connectors, unplug and replug them in firmly, also try a battery reset - disconnect battery , reconnect after 10-20 minutes. Often solves glitches like this.  If that doesn't work then it may be that the tv tuner has developed a fault.

Sounds like a loose plug, possibly in the video module which is near or beside the amp if memory serves.
