Retrofitted navigation ext 50 51

Hi, I have a problem with my navigation. I followed the electrical diagram and the nav fires up I have the fan spinning but in default mode only on the front on high my screen doesnt turn on, only the small LCD showing me ext 50 51. I have a 3 way cable for voice cdc and telephone, but I putted the voice optic into the navigation and the others in the cdc and the telephone respectivelly. Could that be the problem? Any suggests are welcome, tomorrow im going to check the voltages on the pins and if something im going to give some update.

The error code is a comms issue.
Check your optical cable routing again.
Those error codes are usually as a result of the two scp blue/yellow twisted pairs from the dvd not being connected properly.

There is another recent thread on this subject, my post in that details it, reproduced below, hopefully this may help.

"The nav unit acts as a 'filter' between two sections of the SCP network - hence the two sets of SCP twisted pairs, these have to be connected, the first pair NA1 7 & 20 (26-WAY / WHITE on the nav unit) will need to go to the audio unit, the second pair NA7 4 & 14 (20-WAY / BLACK on the nav unit) will need to be connected to the (correct) SCP pair also in the footwell area otherwise the nav won't work."
So basically, from pin 7 and 20 to the respective blue/white on the audio unit and then from pin 4 and 14 to the wiring loom that goes to the back of the car abd into the module, correct?
Not quite, NA7 pins 4 & 14 are also from the dvd to the rest of thr car wiring as described above.

This condition can also be caused by a lack of power to the dvd, or in the worst case the dvd has an internal failure.
Im using the original loom so it should have power to the nav module, today im going to check the pins there. But if im using the original loom do i have to make the connection from pin 4 and 14 to the front of the car, or do you mean that i have to run it to a different loom and if so to which one exactly?

I had assumed you were making your own but using the original loom is definitely the best way - I am going to complete the retro-fit of an X Type loom into my S Type over the next few days.

What exactly in terms of the loom parts have got though ? the std X Type loom is in two parts with the front part being part of the dashboard loom, if you use the complete dashboard loom as well as a std rear loom then you should have most of the connections that are needed, if you stripped the dashboard loom for the satnav parts then additional connections will be needed, I will put a link to my additional connection diagram later.

The NA7 4 & 14 connections for the std loom end up at the blue connector (CA414) under the rear seat and then continue to this connector

CA240 12-WAY / GREY / CABIN HARNESS TO INSTRUMENT PANEL HARNESS LH LOWER 'A' POST / 'A' POST TRIM

You can also connect to the blue/yellow pair in the loom about level with the front door hinge in the sill loom, using the connector above is the best way if you have the correct pins (hens teeth) to add the wires to the loom as they would have been for a Jaguar std fit sat nav. The probable reason they were omitted is that with nothing connected to CA414 the SCP network blue/yellow wires are unterminated (open circuit) and will cause network failure through RF noise & electrical reflections etc.

However the above is secondary to the first problem you need to resolve as the above is not the cause of your 50/51 errors, sort the 50/51 problem and then look for the second set of SCP pairs as above. Once the screen comes alive press audio and you should have a 'Communications Failure' message - this is the classic symptom for NA7 4 & 14.

Anyway I was being a bit dim yesterday, the lack of screen & 50/51 is (almost) definitely down to a comms failure between the nav unit and the touch screen. The following is from the Jaguar fault finding doc - I will put a link to this later.

--------
$A208 Communication failure between navigation module and navigation switch
and display module
1. Disconnect the navigation switch and display module electrical connector IP070
and check resistance through switch and display module between pins 4 and 15. Is
it 68 ± 7 ohms?
If NO - Replace the navigation switch and display module
If YES - ↓
2. Disconnect the navigation module electrical connector NA001 and check for
continuity through the module at pin 7 to ground and pin 20 to ground. Is there
continuity?
If YES - Replace the navigation module
If NO - ↓
3. Check wiring harness for integrity between electrical connectors IP070 pins 4 and
15 and NA001 pins 7 and 20. Is a fault present?
If YES - Replace or repair the affected wiring harness
If NO - ↓
4. Does the fault code 50 or 51 appear on the small LCD display?
If YES - Replace the navigation module
If NO - Replace the navigation switch and display module

LCD DISPLAY FAULT CODES

CODE DESCRIPTION
50 Communication failure between control module and display unit at startup.
51 Communication failure between control module and display unit during operation.
52 Communication failure between control module and display unit during operation.

Best of luck with all that. :0)

Yes, I have the document for the diagnosing. The loom that I have is the one from the back to the front, i dont have the dashboard one.. too hard to find. I am doing only the cables behind the dashboard. I will upload the electrical diagram that i used in a couple of minutes so you can see what i have connected to the screen.
Rectangle Slope Schematic Font Parallel
That is the diagram I used. I have one connection from the blue/yellow on the nav screen to the blue/yellow of the audio system and from there to the blue/yellow on the loom of the navigation module.

The rear loom is a good place to start.

If you wanted to get a front loom then you need to buy a complete dashboard loom (from Eurojag in my case) and either fit it to your car (not recommended), or to strip out the touch screen to green connector wires. If you do the latter then there is still a need for a few additional connections and the NA7 4 & 14 as described above.
Im in the car right now, gonna start with the nav screen in the front and see the pin 7 and 20, after that if it doesnt go im gonna look at the back. Another question.. why is it on the diagram showing the blue yellow pair to be connected on pin 4 and 15 on the screen?
Pins NA1 7 & 20 do go to IP70 4 & 15 - these are the SCP pair between the nav unit and touch screen.

There are two twisted blue/yellow pairs to connect NA7 4 & 14 - look on the left of the nav unit in the diag.
Ohhh.. okay, still sleeppy and stupid today, sorry 😀😀gonna look for them, right now!
Best of luck - i'm off out to do my own car so will be away from my pc for the day.
Don't forget to also connect NA7 3 & 13 as well as NA7 1,2 & 11......
Yes I have them all connected... but interesting thing happens.. I have connection between the SCP cables that I ran from the loom and I think that is the problem but I am not sure where exactly is the problem.. I am going to start ripping the cables and see if there is some kind of a problem from the loom or from my cables, or maybe the one that goes to the audio system..
Remove that... it was the multimeter.. its faulty, everything is okay with the SCP cables and I checked them from the back to the front, the only ones that I havent still checked are those which are originally installed (the BLUE connector below the rear seat). I don't know where exactly it goes, I read that it goes to e GREEN 22 pin connector(CA241), I am not sure where that is.. gonna search some more before it gets dark here.
The blue yellow pair at the blue under seat connector (CA414) go to the LH footwell twisted pair as previously described.

If the nav unit to touch screen scp connections are present and both are powered then this is starting to suggest that the nav unit has failed.
I am thinking of that too, because when I disconnect the blue connector below the rear seat, it starts flashing C1 50 51, so I think that tha SCP is working and the main thing is going to be the module.. i will take it apart tonight and see if maybe the laser is not okay or something, because I always hear it getting the disk form the back.. but not spinning it. Thank you a lot graham, I will get some update on what is going on.
Just a thought, can it be a false DVD disk, or maybe the one before me tried an update on the nav system and it failed?
