Nav goes up and down, won't stay up
Since I have had my car the Navigation has not worked properly.
If you push the button it will pop up and then go back down.
If you try a couple time, by pushing the button and then holding the unit with your hand, slowing it's rise and then let go just before it gets to the top it will stay up and work properly.
I took it apart yesterday and greased all the lift parts and looked for anything keeping it from extending fully and found nothing.
It almost seems that the electric motor is too weak.
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Does anyone have any spare parts from a broken one?

You may have to help it get up the first time by pulling it up while it's going up, then it should be fine. (Don't wait til it gets to the stopping point, pull on it the second it starts coming out) Ok that sounds G A Y but what your explaining is the exact same problem with mine a year ago.. and remember to keep it tilted forward the whole time your doing this. Good Luck Champ!

Hey so Ive been having the same problem. Did A LOT of homework on it including researching the infamous TSB on the unit.
No you dont have to spend that much, nor do you have to go out and do a double din replacement (which would run into the 1k range after you get the dual climate control adapter, steering wheel adapter, and the actual unit)
When the screen pops up, the upper limit is determined by the number of revolutions of the motor, not the actual position of the screen. Over time, this limit seems to go out of adjustment.
To "trick" the limit, while the screen is moving up, quickly press down or tap on the screen so it momentarily moves downward then resumes raising as soon as you let go of it. When done correctly, the screen should raise fully; if you hold it too long, the screen will retract.
Now I dont know how long this will fix it, but mines been out of commission for months. Seems to work when its cold not when its hot, and now finally this year not at all. Did the fix mentioned above and ALL GOOD!
Falling in love with my g35 all over again
(NOTE: I'm going to post this in as many locations as possible since its been years since I've been looking for a fix.)
Thanks!
