Sat Nav Screen Replacement Is 200

[Housty34]

Had enough of my satnav screen. I would hope to replace this screen within the housing unit for something more easily available. Has anyone done this? If so could you give me a few pointers as I suspect this might be something a lot of people might be needing. I also hope to set up a switch to give the screen a dual purpose of Satnav/TV and DVD. Is this feasable?

I remember seeing that you had the same problem as me with the screen going blue then just going blank. I tried everything that everybody suggested but couldn't get a hold of the ribbon cable so I am now thinking about replacing the screen itself within the housing unit and get rid of the ribbon cable that's there altogether. I think someone has done this as this rings a bell. I'm just fed up saying to people 'My car's got satnav as well but the screen's f******'

Hi

Did you manage to sort your screen problem out? I'm having the same problem with my sat nav now. Would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Just come across this post, and maybe I can be some help here.....

I am currently working on 2 nav housing re-trofit with aftermarket Nav unit, therefore I have 2 OEM screen lying around.

Its the Euro / JDM spec, which is 5.5" in size. I did not have a way to test its full funtionality, but it was taken out of a running Altezza.

One is a COMPLETE unit with the screen/ribbon/metal casing/cooling fan/plastic cover/etc.....

One is just the SCREEN itself

Email me at rexchris66@hotmail.com if you are interested, I will sell it for a good price
