If you bought it on Ebay dispute the item as "not as advertised" and they will refund your money. It's a simple process and takes about 3 minutes. You might need to include a picture of the disc so be prepared.

Question regarding this v.10 DVD (shown above). I bought a used 2005 and the nav DVD is missing. I purchased this cheap ebay DVD but it has not arrived yet.
Can I simply plug in this updated map disc and I will have functional navigation without having the original OEM DVD in my possession?

Thank you both very much! (Unrelated) Now I just gotta figure out why my CD player says there is no disc in the player after turning the car off and trying to play the audio CD next time I get in the car. Plays the CD only the first time you insert it, after that it doesn't see the disc if the stereo is powered off and back on again. :-(

Worse case is the the cover of the Nav unit can be removed to get access to the top of the CD player. The CD table can be moved manually to get access to the lens to manually clean it with alcohol on a Q-Tip.

Thanks again 4sumerz!
I tried the "blow air" bit but wasn't sure exactly where in there to blow, so I tried to blow it all across the inside of the opening. It seems to help but not completely fix it. I did purchase a CD cleaner disc and will try that when it arrives.

Have been thinking about ordering 1 of these myself, question is that much better than stock disc?
Have read some say yes & others say no its a waste of $?
What are the differences & if possible would members that have updated disc take screen shot to show the graphics.

It's less good than Google Maps or Waze, but it provides updated maps. And it's available even if you don't have phone service and didn't download off-line maps to your phone before your trip. It's worth the few dollars to update it.

Drove the car with the nav turned on and it shows the map while driving. Haven't done anything else with it like putting in a destination and using it for directions, but still so far so good on it working legitimately.
