Will this work??

[paulrog1]

I'm after some advice, one of the issues I have currently with my 2005 DB9 is occasionally the infotainment display in the center dash goes blank, to get it to work I need to restart the car so it's quite annoying.

There is a Dension 500 unit fitted (by the previous owner) though I have switched it so the cd player works would this affect the display to sometimes go blank?

Do I need to replace the display unit or does anyone know of a different reason why I'm getting the problem with the display?

The replacement display unit (part no 4G43-18K810-AE) costs around £650 but I've found a working secondhand unit on ebay for £125 which has a different part no - 6G33-18K810-AA from a 2007 model, question is will this work ok in my car?

Thanks for any advice.

2005 DB9 here too. The only time I have experienced what you describe is if the battery conditioner has not been connected and the car has stood still for a while. So I think this suggests a low battery situation where the car will shed loads.... ie cut power to the display.

Thanks for your reply, that's very interesting.

I do have a battery conditioner connected sometimes, but the first time the screen went blank I had spent hours replacing all the interior/boot lamps to LED's so the battery could have drained alittle.

Not sure if the car's had a replacement battery since new as I didn't get the full invoices when I brought it so I might invest in a new battery.

Do they need to be programmed to the car like BMW's?? I know i'll need to do the seats/windows and rundown proceedure afterwards.
