Z4 Monitor Manual E85 Nav
First Post and new to the forum, apologies if covered previously. I am having a problem with my nav screen that will not flip up and staying in place.
I don't use it because its ancient but I want it fixed. I am aware of company in California that will fix for 500.00+ but I am not sure it is worth it. I am frustrated because its useless nav but I need the ability to control functions of car and or even set the time date etc. Can anyone offer any guidance? Are there any guides to assist in replacing motor for nav? Any other companies that offer cost effective options?

- Also, according to the manual, there's 3 ways of closing the screen; 1) turning. I tested it out in another Z4 with the nav so I know what you're.

Any other companies that offer cost effective options? Do you hear sounds of motors or clicking when you hit the button to raise the monitor?

Jun 17, 2018 Z4 E85 Retro Fit Screen. Discussion in 'Z4 M Roadster & Coup. My Sat Nav is a lot better now, upgraded the firmware to current and a 2015 disc, now does full postcode searches, still a crap bit of kit I could do without, but as you know also drives the computer & Head unit. So stuck with it.
I have been looking for a tear down for a few years on potential components or parts that could have failed and/or be replaced. I would like to get this operational without taking the $350 - 750 hit for something that is archaic and does not work that well. I had this same problem too, one time.
Fired up the Moupe and noticed the screen's not flipping up, but just the sound of the motor. Thought I'd have to go on living without the screen (which I don't mind nor care), or shell out big bucks to get it fixed. Went for a few days like this, half not caring, half p.ssed that my 'pristine' Moupe, which, up to this point, has had absolutely ZERO mechanical issues, even well past the warranty period, has finally popped its cherry and is now a full fledged BMW.Break My Wallet.
For sh.ts and giggles, when it bothered me enough, I tried pressing the monitor up/monitor down button just to listen to the motor spinning uselessly. I was ALMOST ready to accept my fate, that ordering any car with NAV just because I have a hard-on for NAV is just plain stupid.I decided to push the up/down arrow on the LEFT side of the display just for fun. Of course, it did nothing but to make more motor noise in a shorter interval. In frustration I stabbed at the bottom/down arrow a bunch a times, and all of a sudden the monitor moved a hair. Hm.Let's see what happens when I keep pressing the down button.

Motor sounds like it's stopped against something, the monitor looked like it wants to move.Then I pressed the monitor UP button, and the monitor flipped up like 1/2'. I kept repeating the process. Pressing the up and down button, and the monitor would move accordingly, then try either the monitor fully up and fully down button to see if it reset. Finally, when I manually positioned the monitor to the full 'up' position by using the left arrows, then down to the closed, then cycled it all the way back up, the right hand side buttons did what it's suppose to do.close the monitor when pressed for down, raise it all the way up when pressed for up. Somehow that sequence of button dance reset a sensor or something. So if your NAV monitor is stuck on the down position, but the motor still works, you may want to try and press the buttons on the left and see if it eventually catches something and moves the monitor. If it does, then I think there's a shot at bringing it back to life.
Unless, of course, it's making some nasty crunching sounds like plastic gears/levers being broken up and grounded up by the motor. If it's making THAT sound, it's probably dead for good.
