Computer screen freezing

[BMWZ4MC]

...non original navigation dvd....

I suspect it's this, although it can happen with the OEM disc as well

So if it's independent of the DVD being "OEM" or "DIY" - do we know what might be the root cause?

Hi,

Firstly am ashamed to say this is my first post but been lurking and learning for over 18 months as an owner of an Imola M Coupe.. Great forum btw...

Anyway on my way back over the Pennines my sat nav started to behave as described above, eventually it rebooted itself partially then froze entirely. Didn't pay much attention first time thought it a one off, wouldn't reboot on the key but ok on startup when left overnight. Not a glitch though as occurred 2-3 times in quick succession.

I have an OEM nav disk but its an old version now @ 2008 might an upgrade help (I hate the fact is partial postcode input anyway) or for those that have had these problems was there a common root cause.. All help appreciated. Oh and my rear PDC has also packed up in sympathy ....

Have you got the latest and standard firmware?

Have you got the latest and standard firmware?

Was gonna suggest this as well. Even if on latest might be worth reinstalling.

Since its been a while since anyone posted on this thread, though i would check to see if there are any updates on it, or solutions.

Mine has just done this on my way to work, completely frozen. Was in stop start traffic so tried flicking off the ignition and it didn't solve the problem, but it was only off for a few seconds. I figured it could be a nav related issue so tried to remove the disc. There is a red power light on the DVD unit and the disc won't eject regardless how long i press/press and hold the button.

Will pop out at lunch and see if anything is resolved.

Out of interest how do you go about updating firmware?

Seems like a long enough period of being switched off has cured this problem. I have managed to eject the nav disc too which i haven't a clue if its genuine or not. Has DVD 07-1, Road Map Europe, High written on the front?
