2004 Navigation lcd display turns off and back on

[jruppert]

Just recently noticed an issue with my Navigation. The display (lcd) will completely shut off and then turn back on. It will do this while radio or dvd is being played. When this happens it does not interfere with audio. Everything continues operating normally. When display comes back on it shows the Expedition screen and then shows the screen for radio station or dvd. The clock will show nothing but will update within a couple seconds. It does this erratically. Anyone ever have this issue?

didnt have factory nav...aftermarket

Ive decided to replace it. Just trying to decide what I want. To go nav or not. Ideally I would like something that will integrate my iphone but also have built in satellite and possibly hd radio. I have the cd changer so I may end up pulling that as well. Who knows. All I know is that this factory nav is a piece of garbage. Last night I went to hit a button on the unit and it completely froze up on me. I couldnt even turn it off. My wife gets migraines a lot and so I need to put a piece of paper over the screen since it flashes so much.

go aftermarket with bluetooth and navigation...thats what i have $800...crutchfield.com to see whats out there then search the internet for cheaper pricing...but i would go through crutchfield becuz of the lifetime support and they give you wiring harness and install sheets for free
