Navigation is acting strange last few weeks
I have a 05 Coupe Auto, ...
My navigation is working properly when the screen comes up and stays up, but i been getting problems between 2pm-6pm everyday, the navigation will come up and the go back down, i push the button and it comes up and goes back down.
On the drive to work in the morning, it comes up and stays up, works perfect, but once i leave work in the afternoon, it wont stay up....
just last week, i had the TSB for the rear axles done and i told the mechanic about the navigation problem, well, they took the car in the morning and it worked, then they put the car back in the lot at 1pm with the nav still working, anyways, i picked the car up at 3pm and the nav wouldnt stay up and the mechanic was out to lunch and the cashier said that nothing in the warranty could be dealt with until they saw the problem so i took her to the car and the nav stayed up ???, so i left. i went to get gas and turned car off, turned back on and nav wouldnt stay up. weird problem..at night time it works perfect
Does anyone know why my navigation wont stay up in the afternoon?....this is making me pretty upset considering its a $40k car,... btw, i live in baltimore, the weather been pretty humid and hot last 3 weeks but i have no clue. please any help will be appreciated.

Dude same problem here...getting ready to take it to the dealership this week..
what you do is just lightly hold the screen up when its coming out towards the end of its tract, it will click in and stay.
No idea how they are going to fix it.

I had the same problem with my screen,
I'll be at Elite Sat morning in Laurel, stop by and I'll show you a trick that corrects that problem. BTW I took my car to the dealer 3 times and they still could not fix it. Meantime I figured out what causes it.

i took everything apart, and put together again. it did work a few times after that, but its not working again, and i cant figure it out. it seems that everything is ok in mechanisms, and wiring..
