It looks like you know better, but you did bypass the trimble unit when connecting up the new one? Otherwise, maybe a photo might help. I've used very tiny needle nose plier with some success to straighten bent pins before. Best of luck.oUSC said:

I have a 2000 MY M5 and I bought one online as well as the 16:9 monitor to do the upgrade. The monitor works fine however only the dvd portion of the player works not the gps. I get an error that the antenna is open. The connector on it was bent and the filament inside looks like it was crimped. I know my gps lead is fine because it works with my MKII trimble unit with the 16:9 monitor.
I was just wondering if there was an option other than buying a new unit and taking my lumps. Please let me know if you are aware of such a company.
Yes I tried connecting the gps lead directly to the dvd player following the instructions that I found on bimmernav.com. Then when that didn't work I tried connecting the gps to the trimble unit and using the dvd. And finally when that didn't work I pulled the dvd and reinstalled the MKII and reloaded the firmware and it worked so I figured it had to be the bent lead on the dvd.icsfsedod said:It looks like you know better, but you did bypass the trimble unit when connecting up the new one?
