My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[Grumpy Goat]

We had a few warm days, recently and I decided to break out the RS, which has been ignored for the last few months. Surprise, my NavVI  decided to finally join the ghosting club. Emailed Garmin and had a response within the same day. I’ll get shipping labels late March, as they’re out of stock right now.

One thing I noticed in the email that I don’t think I’ve seen in this (lengthy) thread is the replacement unit will have a capacitive glass touchscreen as opposed to the original resistive layered touchscreen, per their email description.
Guess I’ll find out in a month or so if this is an actual solution to the problem.

Dave, I guess this is your first failure / replacement? 

I have had one replacement years ago and so far it has been holding up. At the time when I got mine there was no talk of a replacement screen type (capacitive vs resistive) and I suspect that mine may be the same type as before.
