Head Unit mafunctioned & being replaced
Got in to my 2014 228 the other day and the head unit/display wouldn't fully boot up. Kept getting the "bmw" logo on screen...would hang there.... then go blank and try booting again to no avail.
Took it in for service and the guy said that the whole head unit needs to be replaced. They needed to order the parts and it would take 1-2 full days to do the work. Any one else having problems with their head unit? Strange that these types of problems wouldnt be figured out yet as the service guy said he even has some problems with his 3 series head unit. |

My friend had it replaced last year on a 2013 328i xDrive. I think it's more common on these base head units since they don't have the same type of cooling that the Nav head units have.
I don't really see many CIC's or NBTs fail on these forums.

Still in the process of figuring out total costs
Reservoir tank leaked -> coolant went into the alternator -> i lost all electric power in the car (dash, navigation, transmission locked) -> thought it was a dying battery -> tried to drive the car back to the house -> turns out there was no coolant in the engine and it was overheating ( there was no way for me to know since the dashboard was off). After we get all these fixed we need to check the ECU and engine. Car might be considered totaled

I have the full Nav etc. They replaced everything in mine. It would get stuck in a reset loop for about 5 minutes on cold starts.
