Something temperamental going on here; I started the engine and momentarily I had a camera shot when in reverse; moving the car into the garage I can see the display cycling on and off every 5 seconds...just black to blank screen.
Display/Nav/Radio have stopped working.

I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the IT/Audio/ Visual Controller. ( I may be wrong but time will tell). That part number is 25915-4HB4F listing at $1306.87 at the local dealer.
So I decided to see if I could find it myself, and sure enough, it nested in the rack between the radio and temperature controller. There are many of these units pulled from the Infinity, but they all have the same part number. I don't know for sure if I'm on to it, but a Wrecker in Mississippi is sending one to me via UPS for $60. I put all the pieces in a box, and this picture is what it looks like. The "controller" is the blueish chassis with the 3 colored connector ports (for the video monitor, I expect).
If I'm right and I can reassemble my car, I will make another post next week. (BtW. A friend is driving an F150 with the same problem; the

dealer has ordered a new board for him $1200. Installation cost will be interesting).

Road King; I am still without anything on the console. I removed the "computer" nested between the radio and the plastic heating control and replace it with TWO different units bought off eBay...still dead! I went to the dealer where I bought this machine and they were totally unhelpful: "We can make an appointment for next week and the first charge is for one hour ($150.) to analyze the problem...it may take that long to get into the dash...(It now takes me 10 minutes to take things apart). The Service Manager did say that there are 3 Computer modules that have to talk to each other.
Your dread of high dollar solution is well founded and I'm trying my best to avoid another mortgage to get this fixed.
I'm now thinking that the Monitor itself is the problem (I may be totally wrong again!) since it has gone totally dead without the intermittent flashes. On Friday, I ordered a monitor again off eBay and am awaiting confirmation of shipping. This monitor is pretty unique and I could only find 2 with the wiring like mine. It is over $2900 new so I'm taking a chance on a wrecker and willing to keep trying to replace parts...I will shoot myself it turns out to be a bad wire under the hood.

OK, the "New" monitor arrived today and I am at my wits end...still not a thing working on the display including Radio/cameras/A/C...nada! Don't know where to go from here but maybe try to find a shop that specializes in Electrics or keep trying to find electrical diagrams. .Road King; I am still without anything on the console.
