My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[Grumpy Goat]

Like Darrel suggests, I advise anyone who already has a Nav V to keep it as a spare to the Nav VI until they figure out this problem and actually implement a proper solution. Until now I have never heard a rep admit that it was a supplier of bad parts issue, which means if this is true they still have issues since some replacements (with the good parts?) still have this problem.

For me (who does not have a Nav V as a spare), I refuse to go and buy one to use as a spare. Its the principle of the thing. While I love the jog wheel function and integration with telemetrics etc., I would give that functionality up in a spare, and get a $20 app for my phone instead. And when I can't read the phone acceptably, I'd put the money towards the $500 Garmin Zumo XT. But that is just me.

I don't have an issue spending big money on a premium bike. I do have BIG problems spending money on BS issues and accoutrements that such a bike seems to attract.
