navigation problem

I just bought a 05 C6 and the navigation stopped reading the disc. I wanted to see if anyone had any info on this.

If you just got it, go back to the dealer and try another disk. If it still doesn't work, have them pull the power from it, restore the power feed and let it reboot. See if it works then. If not, the NAV died and will need a new one.

You should try a different disk first if it does not work you may need a new nav.

Make sure your NAV disc is clean and scratch free. Then clean the optics of the disc reader (use one of the wet cleaning kits you can get at a computer store). If the disc appears undamaged, and cleaning doesn't help, then you can take it to the dealer and pay several hundred dollars for an exchange (dealers don't do electronics repair), or take it to an independent auto radio shop and let them do component level (10 cent part) repair. If it were mine, I'd opt for component level repair.

I don't know what the deal was but after I ejected the disc and reinstalled it several times it started working again. I did notice it is a burned disc.

Sometimes the discs get a film on them, a cleaning with windex and a microfiber towel might help.

Burned discs don't always read, look on Fleabay and pickup a version 3 or 4 cheap.

i had this problem for a while... now the problem is that I try to put the dvd in and it doesnt even pull the disc in...

this is bad...

HOW DO I RESET THIS DARN UNIT??

I know if there is some way besides cutting the power and pulling the 15 amp fuse... don e them both...

What I am trying to do is essentially cut the power COMPLETELY so that even my radio stations get wiped out...

any ideas???

In addition, I pulled the head unit and found a small opening on the side which accepts a small screw driver. The plastic **** inside turns in either direction and appears to be a setting or an adjustment for something. Does anyone know what this is for??

Thanks...
