Navigation display recently went out!
Well this sucks! Apparently the navi LCD just went out because I can still play the radio/cd player but it automatically powers off every five minutes and I have to turn it back on.
I found out the Navigation unit is in the trunk and no lights are on it. I guess this means the unit is bad? I've searched on Ebay and the prices are 400 bucks. Anyone find the Navi unit any cheaper? thanks

Definately sounds like your Nav unit is toast.
I don't know the seller, but it looks like others have had pleasant experiences when buying from him, and the price is fantastic for a MKIV! http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/1107205 Of course, if you want to go a less expensive way, you should be able to find a MKII for much less, and a MKIII for just a little more.

From the posts around here, it's seems the smartest way to go is MKIV. Thanks for the link. I'm starting a little savings fund right now to get a new unit!

Mk4 is the way to go-DVD based instead of CD, also later software up to v31 release, allowing splitscreen and perspective viewing. Also 7 digit post (zip) code input

This is a long shot but try cleaning the navigation disk. a dirty disk can cause some strange things.

do you have the 4:3 or widescreen? If you have the 4:3 you can get a cheap 4:3 tv tuner and just hook it up.
You'll get everything except the navigation ( all menus) and your stereo won't shut off after 2 minutes. That will give you more time to search for a nav unit. If you already have a tv tuner, just unplug the blue plug from the nav unit and plug it into the tv tuner.
