Hi Guys,
I have a '99 740iL the radio would randomly come on and shut off. The GPS quit working, so thanks to this forum i started my research to fix my problem. I really wish all of these things were all separate ! oh well !
So after reading and trying my best, here is what I have done.
1. Checked the voltage of the battery, it has been replaced with a new battery. - Didn't fix the issue
2. I pressed the eject button and connected the power simultaneously - Didn't fix the problem.
3. Unplugged the GPS Nav mkII from the car and plugged it back in. Didn't fix the problem.
4. My dad has a 2001 740iL with the same GPS, so i plugged his unit into my car with no luck, I did put my unit into his car and the GPS /radio all work. So my GPS unit is not bad.
So from reading the forums I have a few conclusions,
1. Either my dash display needs to be changed as i do have a few pixels that are bad,
2. Change the ignition as that could be the cause
3. The DSP could be bad. Note: the dsp does not light up on the monitor it is greyed out.
Anything else you guys would recommend? I should try?
Thanks,
Raj
