I replaced my LCD display with a new display because it had lost it brightness. I used the same manufacturer and part number as the original LCD display. The process went well except for a missing cable connection. On the back of the navigation unit is three connectors but I could only find two cables to plug. All other connectors that I found plugged into all the other receptacles, The is a ML radio unit with, of course navigation.
Is the third receptacle on the back of the navigation unit not used? Also, the new screen is much brighter but looks like an old TV set that needs degaussing. (purple in corners and rainbow colors on center of screen). Anyone have any ideas. Thanks

Just spitballing here, but the screen issue may have something to do with the way it was stored...you mentioned the TV scenario, so I'm sure you know that if it was too close to a magnet or something magnetized, the effect you mentioned could be the result of that...as far as the cable issue, the 'extra' one may be for an option that you may not have, like, a back-up camera or something...or it may be for an option specific to another model, but the headunit is shared between yours and the others...again, just spitballing, but I hope it helps...let us know what you find out...

You will have to pardon me but what is a "UL"? Also, it is quit possible the new screen was exposed to a magnet. The one I used to retrieve a dropped screw. Can anything be done to undo my magnet incident?

Does anyone have a picture showing the rear of the navigation units cable plug connections. I have one smaller connector, the one not connected and to others connected that are about the same size. Maybe picture from a 2004 maintenance manual? I will take a picture of my unit and post it here. Thanks again

Also, my apologies...a UL is an Ultra Luxury model...it's basically an 'all options' LS, plus some that are only on the UL like a rear seat cool box, massage rear seats, etc....it's kinda like a 760iL without all the headaches of actually owning a 760iL

The theory of magnets doesn't work with our screens. A magnet will cause deflection of the electron beam in a cathode ray tube (old TV screen). Our displays are LCD, which are not affected in the same manner. But I like the idea of getting a new LS. One can dream...
