#16 of 17 Re: Problem with blank navigation screen [xsnerg] by bmlexus May 01, 2009 (3:31 pm)
Replying to: xsnerg (Apr 16, 2009 8:43 am) I've had the X6 for nearly a year, and while I generally love it, I've been having a recurring problem that the dealer hasn't been able to figure out.   I've read too many of bmw owners saying that bmw can't figure out whats wrong with their cars   When I first start the car in the morning (between 5 and 6 am -- this may be important), my navigation screen will be blank. Even if I turn the car off and on again, several times, the screen won't appear until after I've driven, parked for a while, then return to drive, again. However if I turn on the car at around 7 or later, the screen will start up normally, which is why I wonder if this might be temperature related. Now, it's not exactly cold here in San Diego, but early morning temps can be pretty low . BMW dealer hasn't been able to figure it out; it's with them for the second time for this problem right now, over one week each time.   Navigation going blank in the morning If you leave the car start for like 5 minutes will then the navigation open?   I wonder if bmw has similar problems in the hot weather as well? I do not like the idea of bmw keeping cars at the dealer for a week. I'd prefer the problem to be solved right away, or within 24 hours.   I'm searching here for a solution because we had a problem with a Prius that also only occurred first thing early in the morning. Toyota couldn't figure it out, either. I learned from a Forum that people on the east coast had had similar problems and the culprit was the water pump. I asked Toyota to check that, and they told me that both water pumps were on the verge of failing and that the car wasn't safe to drive until they were replaced.   I've been searching and reading about x6 for over a year now, I really like the x6, but too many complications in this car, I've read more negative reviews than positive ones.   The first thing to start with, I don't know if the inline6 is a better engine or the v8, I want the engine which can last be longer, I tend to keep my car for around 4 years, btw, not very keen to spend the extra for the v8   I've been pushed by some friends to get the new lexus rx, but don't really know if I'll be happy with it.   I am really attracted to this car since it came out, tried to look for an alternate car because of the issues, but keep coming back   Sometimes things get so confusing, I think of just leave luxury cars and buy something thats cheaper and no reliability issues.

Replying to: gardis (Jan 30, 2009 11:50 am) I'm a devoted BMW owner. People look at someone driving that vehicle, and say, how much money does he make, in a way they don't comment on the 5 series, or really any other BMW model. My two cents.   You're right, no one1 even takes a look at the 5 series, thats the opposite for the x6, btw, what will you choose as your next bmw?
