Sat nav problem

hi, has anyone got any idea why my sat nav keeps reverting back to split screen every time I start the car after leaving for little wile,  set it to full screen and prospective view and keeps re setting.

New battery recently fitted, did it before the battery change.

Re: E46 Steering Wheel Question - E53

The wheel on wife's x5 has probably been changed in the past, wheel from e46 & e39 are same fitment & style just a bit slimmer. Recently changed mine, also not keen on the slimmer style so on look out for replacement from x5.

Re: Bosh battery

Think I might just put it on and see how it goes, make sure I've got my booster pack in boot or my aa card in my wallet ha, will it cause any serious problems apart from electrical gremlins if any if it is incorrect for the car.

Re: Nav disc update

Thanks x5sport,

Ok so nav unit bit dated, any recommendations for aftermarket head units, without having auto electrician qualification. I don't want cheap and nasty but I do like a bargain.

Re: Angel eyes.

Cool, thanks will take a light unit out this afternoon and see if I can get apart, sounds like I'll have to hide the swear box from the other half for couple hours. Ha. Think I might just order from the link x5-D-sport kindly provided, as he said it looks like they come with transformers ...

Re: Angel eyes.

Looks great, were did you get halos from, was the wiring straight forward, did you heat light open or cut.  :)

Re: Angel eyes.

Are the halo rings easy to wire in without any error codes,  I'm quite happy to attempt splitting headlight and installing halo rings but I'm not 100% with wiring without a dummy's guide  :P
