Its referred to as the 'MID' PM one of our breakers, they are sure to have one spare.

Replacement needs to come from same spec/transmission, any others would need re-programming with tech2. Also needs to be similar age as the connector changed at some point  :-/

From what I have read the pre-facelift displays are prone to missing pixels but the later displays are much more reliable.

Has anyone tried grafting a later display into an earlier car?

Is it an LCD screen you require or a dot matrix one?

Title: Re: Missing pixels
Post by: winfox on 12 March 2010, 20:59:58

guessing its the dot matrix one as it looks pretty basic

they are repairable but wont last long.. heat kills the connections in the long term.. I repaired them with some sticky bandage but work normal only a few months..

Ah, unlucky. Looks like my spare is a TID. Only half the unit is screen with a single grey plug with 2 rows of 16 pins. Part number 090565935.

Yeah, dot matrix screens are a bit famous for failing. A bit like the Philips CD multichanger units.
