NAV display not turning on
I have a 2005 with factory NAV and every once in awhile, the display does not turn on when you start the car. Sound comes out of the speakers for the radio and the buttons on the side work (voice commands) but the display will not turn on. I have tried using voice command to turn on display but that doesnt work either. Sometimes, if I restart the car, it will turn on, or the next time I start it, it will work.
But other than that, it's very intermittent and I cant think of any reason that it would happen. It's happened probably 10 times over the past several years. I should have taken it in already, but just haven't...
any ideas?
