Hi Mick

 

If it's the same as the MK4 golfs you need to hold one of the buttons to go to the menu and select navigation.  Maybe try that.

 

Otherwise you might need the coding in the clocks checked to make sure the say nav is still activated.  Also check and make sure the sat nav loom is still plugged into the back of your head unit.

Im sure ive seen a place that fixes LCD displays on wheeler dealers its called cluster repairs uk

Post a picture of the screen as it is.

 

If you are getting nothing from the headunit on the dash, its possibly just a canbus connection issue to the dash cluster. Best bet is to get the instruments and headunit scanned with VCDS for faults, or you can put the MFD1 into diagnostics mode and it will tell you if it can see the cluster and the gateway.

 

The MFD1 is basically the same unit as the Audi RNS-D, so the hidden options menu maybe the same.

The one to look at is the communications screen.
