Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any suggestions.
So the Sat Nav in my 03 2.4 tourer has worked perfectly since I purchased the car 18 months ago until last week, when we were away camping.
Twice last Friday morning when I started the car the screen froze on the Honda navigation page.
On friday afternoon it did the same, so I shut the engine off and waited a while before starting up again and it got to the agreement screen and froze.
Once home on Saturday I ejected and cleaned the disc, and then managed to get into the diagnostic menu using the 3 left hand buttons. looking through the menus I decided to do a reset and the screen went blank.
I once again waited a while before starting the car again and managed to get into the diagnostic menu and again the screen went blank.
Since then every time I have started the car the screen has failed to come on.
All the hard keys are working ie, changing from radio to cd and ejecting cd's from the auto changer, so there is power, its just the screen not viewing anything.
I suspect the "head unit" rather than the dvd drive as I haven't had any disc error messages and I would hope that if the dvd drive did die the screen would still function. Logical?
Has anybody else come across this?
I hope someone with the knowledge will say " oh yeah, its yer scrinner, do this and all will be right" or words to that effect. As looking on flea bay the screens are ranging in price from £300-600!!! Ouch.
The annoying thing is, is that when working it is very convenient to alter air flow or turn AC on or off from one screen, I'm now at the minute stuck with AC off, blower at number 2 and airflow to face and feet.
