more Columbus questions

Featured Replies

Greetings All,

Thanks to the members of this forum for their info, I have finally fitted my satnav system. I have a few more questions / problems. Have done searches, but no luck with answers, so here goes.

The car had a reverse sensor display on the Audience unit, but it disappeared when I fitted the Columbus. Is it possible to have the display come up again?

The maxidot display has come up with the Navigation display selection (happy about that), but once a selection is made, I cannot select another function ie Audio, without turning the Columbus off. This is the same regardless of which function I am in, it stays in the 'original' selected function.

Lastly, the cooling fans (in the head unit)are still running (not sure how long they should after car is off). I have read this may be a canbus issue, but hoping not.

Could all these issues be that I need to run the VCDS and reprogram the car(just bought a USB Hex-Can from Ross Tech but still waiting on delivery) and my problems will be solved, or could it be bigger than that?

Thanks

Tom

Lastly, the cooling fans (in the head unit)are still running (not sure how long they should after car is off). I have read this may be a canbus issue, but hoping not.

I can't find it now... but I have seen a thread on here somewhere where someone's car battery had been depleted completely due to these fans staying on (after upgrading to a Columbus like you did). And until he had done the CANBUS upgrade he had to resort to taking the radio fuse out every time he left the car... :no:

I have a similar problem, it 'locks' in the Phone menu rather than the Navigation menu. Holding down the function selector button on the stalk switches to the phonebook and I cannot get to any other Maxidot menu. I have found a workaround, starting the navigation switches the display and the I can select the other menus. Sorry this won't help you get out of Navi.
