Thread: Loss of Mid radio pixels.

Hi, I have to sort mine out too.. there are many tutorials on how to fix them yourself around online and a couple of places that repair them for you

I had one panel replaced under warranty about 2 years ago. New panel has done the same thing (the one in the centre console - the speedo one has been fine).

Reckon it's a BMW conspiracy

It is / was a pretty common fault. Plenty replaced under warranty.

Spudboy, I even seem to recall doing a claim on yours for the same thing.

I have a new cable on its way, I’ll update once installed.

Range Rover dead pixel repair DIY instrument cluster LCD, MID, radio unit.

I’ve read that contact cleaner can cure the problem temporarily. Now mine varies in how bad it is so the cable theory sits well – if it was the screen it wouldn’t come and go…

I'll be interested to see if this fixes it for you. Mine look like the pixels are completely off though, not faded like in the web link you posted.

I saw a whole unit on eBay (display and CD player) for $25 about a month after LR had replaced mine, and I am kicking myself as I SHOULD have bought it as a backup. There I was thinking that the replacement unit was going to fix things permanently....

My 2003 rangie is having this problem repaired next week (around $250) by
a mob in perth.If all goes well, will let you know.
