For a few weeks now, my navi is constantly rebooting. This also means I have limited access to A/C controls and FM programming. Diag screen seems to indicate RAM failure but I'm wondering if it's not simply the fan which doesn't seem to move anymore.

It's starting to get on my nerves. Called Alpine and they said it's a common issue that can be fixed for $358 (new price, nice bump from previous $158).

My question is: did anyone do it recently? Did it fix your issue. And do you have any advice on removing these darn connectors in the back of the unit, which seem impossible to remove by hand.

Any help appreciated. My 04 TSX has 143k miles now.

 

No opinions?

 

Here are the connectors I'm having problems removing. I don't want to pull too hard and break something in the process. Ideas?

 

never mind, I found there is a little thing you need to push on for the connectors to come out. Wasn't obvious because it's dark in there...

 

I have the same issue with my NAV screen rebooting. It often remains in "rebooting" screen without access to the NAV controls. Did you find a fix?
