Title: Problems with CID
Post by: gsizoli on 20 January 2010, 20:09:15

My Colour Info Display has almost died. Sometimes works sometimes not, very annoying... in Hungary it's difficult to find a replacement part. Is it possible to buy one from England?Any idea?

Anyway can I use a GID instead of CID? The head unit is a Siemens NCDC2013. If it's possible to use the GID is it needed to depair similar to CID??

If somebody has a relacement CID or GID don't hesitate to contact me...

There are on Ebay Germany, but it's expensive...

Alternatively there's BBA-reman in the UK who can do this.  They managed to get hold of a replacement LCD screen but it came from China.   Downside is that it will cost around 500 GBP so the eBay option is cheaper if you want a CID badly.

and then follow the guide here to replace it

It is the sharp screen that goes wrong generally not the electronics that talk to the Vx system.

Hi thanks, I've already discussed with the American guy.
The main problem I don't know if the screen i bador the electronics.Sometimes the screen is white, sometimes vibrating, sometimes vertical lines.
How could I decide what is the wrong exactly?

99% its the LCD screen. Your symptoms are exactly the same that I had before my screen was replaced by BBA Reman.

Yep, same problem I had; LCD.  Mine worked intermittently then eventually just went all white coloured.
