To make a long story short my original Nav screen was flickering so i took it to the dealer and they changed it..

Now the "new" screen looks like the is static/waves running through it.. WTF has anyone had this problem.



Funny thing is when they changed the first unit my address book and inprted cell phone book were still present in the "new" unit.. I assumed that they were gone...

 

Sucks man, good luck. As long as the dealer replaces it but I'm sure its a pain in the ass, I use my Nav daily! Hey I have a Blackberry 8330 and it did not want to load my address book, how did you do it?

 

Ouch! Hope they fix it this time around.

 

my navi screen has problems too its keeps saying check disk and i did...do u guys think i may need a new disk? the old one looks fine

 

If your disk came with the car & it hasnt been taken out & scratched up you should not need a new one. Did you do the Navi hack?

 

If the disc is not damaged, the drive in your nav unit has failed. If it's under warranty, you are golden. If you are out of warranty, send the drive to Alpine for repair. It's about $160 shipped to get it fixed by Alpine, the dealer will charge you for a brand new unit (they don't service the unit, only replace it), which is several thousand dollars.

 

Yeah its pretty bullshit especially at night...

I have an 8830 too and tried to import the phonebook like 10 times and it didnt work... Then one day i while i was driving and talking on the bluetooth I was playing with it and it worked...

it makes no sense I know but i have imported my phonebook twice in 2 years I just keep playing with it randomly.

 

It most likely won't load.

You're very fortunate. There's a list of phones that are approved for full compatibility. I don't think an BB's are on that list.

 

Yeah I guess im lucky ... when it imported it shows up on screen Blackberry 8830 and the date I imported it.

 

Ya you are lucky cause i tried about a dozen times and was unsuccesful

 

is ur bb set to allow remove sim operation?

That has to be on before the HFL can get to your address book

 

So i tried it tonight after work while driving home and on the 7th try it worked... LOL

I guess im lucky..

 

I have an 07 type-s with the same problem. They are replacing my Nav unit next week.

 

Not sure have to check
