BMW E38 Pixel Repair
BMW E38 Pixel Repair is available from Cartronix for faulty vehicle electronics, dashboard displays, warning lights, and related cluster faults. Our team repairs the unit you send in, so the original part stays with the vehicle wherever possible.
First, we inspect the unit and confirm the fault. Then we repair the failed components, run bench tests, and check the display or gauge response before return. This gives you a clear repair route without buying a costly replacement unit.
The service suits postal repair customers across the UK. You can remove the unit and send it to our workshop, or contact us if you need advice before booking. We package returned units carefully and aim for a fast turnaround.

Book the repair through the Cartronix job form and include the vehicle details, fault notes, contact number, and return address. If the fault is unusual, intermittent, or urgent, contact Cartronix before sending the unit.
Most customers send the unit by tracked post. A tracked service, such as Royal Mail Special Delivery, helps protect the parcel while it travels to the workshop.
What this service covers
- Dim, missing, or faulty display information.
