Hi all,

I have looked on the forum but could not find anything related to the issue I have encountered on my 1.5 dCi n-tec+ 5dr (J11, 2015). Basically, when I start the car, I can't see anything on display other than a few thin black horizontal lines on a white background. I have to mention that the touchscreen and radio are working fine. When in reverse gear, the screen goes grey, but the camera is not showing.

I tried a factory reset but no luck. The next step was to do a diagnostic check at a Nissan Dealer. The conclusion was that the 'connect unit screen failed and requires repair/replacement unit'. Price: £3885 :shock: (probably half of the car's price).

A used one on eBay is between 200 and 300 pounds and I can try to fit it myself, but I don't know if only the part numbers must be the same (e.g. 259154ET3A and 7 513 750 231) or if all the others should be the same (DNN, MH, HW, S, Index)? Is the replacement head unit required to be from the same QQ model variant as mine, or just the same 1.5 engine?

Does anyone know if the replacement unit will require a unlock code following the installation?

UPDATE - I have replaced the old connect unit with an used one (same specs) and reprogrammed it along with the keys. It works fine now.
