I've had my entire Nav system replaced twice under warranty because it stops reading the Nav disc. The dealer told me it has a very high failure rate, and that they replace a lot of them, and not just in the Corvette. I believe it is a faulty designed unit. And it costs something like $1200 for a new one. Pretty ridiculous.

The op could be something I would have written in "09. Exactly the same. I also blew air into the player, but it didn't seem to make a whit of difference. I don't listen to music much,
so it was not worth spending the money to get it looked at. This was out of warranty at that point.
Fast forward a few years, and now it occasionally won't recognize the map DVD.
THAT is annoying. :-(

I have that problem quite a bit where it won't recognize a CD but ejecting and re installing it a half dozen times and it seem to work then. Mine goes to the Satellite Radio when I install a disk it won't recognize.
I will try the compressed air this week and see how that works.

I'm pretty sure this problem isn't battery related.
Many (most?) are, but not this one. If it was, it would have corrected itself sometime in the last 80,000 miles for me.
