Experts wanted - Navigation system of the BMW 5 Series (model year 2016, diesel)

Hey guys, has anyone had any experience with the BMW 5 series (2016 model, diesel) having the navigation system go haywire? I think it might be a screen failure, but maybe someone of you has experienced something similar and was able to fix the problem in a workshop? How did it go for you and what exactly did the garage do? Any information and help would be great!

Hello, I may be able to help a little here. I have some experience with cars, but I'm not an expert. I had a similar problem with my BMW 3 Series (built in 2014, diesel). In my case, the cable connection between the control unit and the display was defective, i.e. a bad connection. The people at my garage were really helpful. They quickly identified the problem and fixed it. The repair cost me 165 euros. Can you perhaps give more details about your car? Is it a specific model or have you made any special modifications? That might help to get a clearer picture of your problem.

Hi, thanks for your quick and helpful reply. This could be possible as I have not made any special modifications to my car and it is a standard model. I noticed that the problem occurred after my last thorough inspection and replacement of the brake pads, which was at a mileage of 82360 km. Perhaps something was damaged in the cable or the control unit. I will definitely take it up with my garage. Hopefully it won't be too expensive...

Hey, no problem, always happy to help. It is quite possible that something was damaged during the inspection or when the brake pads were replaced. But it could also just be a coincidence and related to the total mileage of the car. It's a good idea to bring this up at the garage. They can definitely check it and tell you whether the problem is due to this or not. With my BMW 3 Series it was all very straightforward and not that expensive, of course I hope that it works similarly for you. Good luck and let us know what the garage says!

Hello, I can't connect my Carly iOS app (I'm on iOS 17.1) to my Carly 2 box. I have a BMW G30. The box flashes red continuously and blue alternately every second. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app. The BT doesn't identify a box. I don't understand why I'm offered a video telling me about a wifi connection. If some kind soul can help me!

It sounds like you're having trouble connecting your Carly app to your Carly 2 box. First, ensure that your Bluetooth is turned on and your device is discoverable. If that doesn't work, try resetting the Carly 2 box by unplugging it and plugging it back in. If the problem persists, it might be a compatibility issue with your iOS version or a hardware issue with the Carly 2 box. In that case, I recommend reaching out to Carly's customer support for further assistance.

Thanks @CarlyMechanic. Indeed, the BT does not identify the box. I'll contact customer support.
