Default Navagation problem

I have an intermittent problem with my navi. I get "The Disc installed is not a map DVD". Sometimes it works. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks

Is it a genuine NAV dvd, or a burned copy? I have seen this error with so-called "backup" copies of the NAV disk, but never with an original.

If you drive in an extremely dusty environment, maybe the lens on the DVD read mechanism is dirty?

Original. No dust. Hot and humid. It's a 2005 and I got it new.

Your NAV system is going ... the reader could be dirty and you can try a cleaning disc , but most probably the condition you describe will get worse untill it starts freezing up completly .

Happened to my 07 three times in two years , for whatever reason .

I was also getting a screen that would black out and freeze .

Try cleaning it , but according to the service manager at my dealership , these NAV units go fairly often ...

Good luck .

Do you have an older version of the discs? If so, try it. You could have a bad disc.
