Guys,
Just changed my 4.3 screen for a 16.9 screen.Everything works as before but only shows on screen in 4.3 format.
I know that I would need to upgrade the TV tuner to 16.9 widescreen version,but will that make everything else
fill the screen.I assumed the TV tuner upgrade only applied to the TV!What should I do?

Can you post a picture?

Diny,Just had a pm from Cemessi ,who advised what to do!
Can pull a lead from TV and attach to Nav unit in place of one there for the time being.Will lose TV
but will have rest in 16.9,until I can get 16.9 TV tuner.

That's very odd. I originally had the MKII nav unit with the 4:3, then got the MKIII, then the 16:9, then the MKIV, and now back tot he MKII and never had any issues (that weren't resolved by unplugging and plugging back in).

You keep saying "TV," so do you have a TV tuner? That may be the culprit.

Yes its the TV tuner which I can get around now thanks to advise from Cemessi

Unfortunatally the older TV modules will only display 4:3 even on the 16:9 screen. Nothing you can do except either disconnect the TV module or get a newer version. Depending on the exact wireing in your car you may find that simply bypassing the TV module by moving the blue plug will cause the Nav audio instructions to stop working, this can be fixed by moving some of the pins in the blue plug.

Thanks Richard,
I,ve disconnected the TV tuner and plugged the blue block into the blue on sat nav.The screen now displays in full width but I,ll have to wait till i need the sat nav to see if I've lost any audio.If thats the case I,ll look out for a more up to date tuner module,and put the plugs back.Hardly seems worth it though with the TV going to be switched off in the not to distant future

Couldn't wait for tomorrow.Went out,plummed in a local destination and it worked fine with full audio!
On another note:- Is there a splash screen option to have on it ?

 

[Cemessi]

You need to update the firmware to one with a splash screen. Ideally you need to do that to a MK4
