CID snags
« on: 12 August 2015, 10:42:36 »

I have lost the map on the sat nav on the CID, had the clocks out the other week to put new bulbs in, reconnected both plugs, went to use the sat-nav and no map just black screen with box in top left corner with repeat and so on  ???

Your culprit will be the smaller RGB plug / cable that plugs into the back of the CID.  ;)

Had the clocks out 3 times now and still not showing map on CID, plug is in, but to me feels loose even when it is clicked in. Sat-Nav works just no map. All other functions work

Its the RGB Cable Joff, the smaller one (Black from memory) have you broken the retaining clip off it, if so may not sit tight in the CID socket, or tugged it in situ and pulled the lead / cables from the back of the HU.

I think it is that plug at fault, as it dose not feel like a tight fit when clip is secure, I'm going to leave it until I get back home next week and have more time to play fix it. I have a few spare RGB plugs at home so will check the clip to see if at fault. The large plug fits tight in so I don't thick it's that. Also looks like I will have to do CDC unit change too as mine just comes up with disc error after trying to read each disc, I have a new unit at home I can put in.

Was it yours I was swapping a CID over on a few weeks ago, and said the plug was shot?

No this is the black Elite estate, last time you were playing was before last Christmas when I first got the misfire (coil pack) and when you told me the front cats were toast. ::)

It just needs some TLC when I get back from Scotland, will have to use the MV6 for a bit when I get home  :y

Ah, yes, now you mention it...  ...was I grumbling about a knackered rgb plug?
