satnav thingy rebooting etc

[donmika]

um.

no, not going to ask how to change language, found some info on that. and i dont want to navigate anyway...

car is BP5, 2006 legacy wagon GT.

i tried to look with different search words and couldnt find one so i might have an original problem, apologies if i\'m wrong. my factory dash sat/nav seems to be rebooting in a loop. the reverse camera appears to work after i stopped pressing any of the buttons of the screen... but the rebooting in about every 2-3 mins, possibly vibration related, is a bit annoying while driving; esp at night.

does the thing offer anything other useful features than the satnav function (which i dont need or want) and reverse camera? where\'s the actual unit physically? i dont want to lose the rev camera...

is the strange looking computer type interface / card reader (?) on the right lower dash near knee level somehow related to the system? if not, what is it?

there really is no clock in the car either?

thanks. yes, i might consider this if i\'d first:

1. be able to stop the constant rebooting; or at least what looks to be rebooting (makes no difference what language it is, annoyance factor caused by suddenly lit up screen remains in the low daylight driving) (unit has bad hard drive? power connection?)

i dont mind showing the car to a pro techie (and pay) for taking a look at the rebooting if someone can suggest a place in welly.

2. know if i get anything useful with it; (still) not after navigator. does it show any fancy driving data?

(i\'m old school, when navigating i use paper map; or if i want to be a techie, i use my ipad.)

has anyone managed to make the TV work, or play DVDs?

I think this is for the toll road system in Japan; I have something similar in my car but in my center compartment.
