Sat nav problem
Sat nav problem
My 2004 x5 sat nav has developed a problem. It was working fine but it now says it can't read the disc and sometimes no disc found! I have tried cleaning the disc and disconnecting the battery but its still the same. Does the disc need updating or is it a problem with the drive itself?

Re: Sat nav problem
OEM disc? If not, then that might be a source of the issue.
Could also be dust on the laser pickup head.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.Re: Sat nav problem
I find the non oem disc are very fussy on what type of media you are using,try it on another brand.
Re: Sat nav problem
Non oem discs can cause all manner of problems, try oem if you have not already done so. Otherwise there may be a problem with the laser - this can be repaired, there are a few people who offer online services - post it to them and they repair and send back. Or you can attempt the laser replacement yourself if handy with soldering iron. Otherwise source a good used unit, get a mk4, and just replace the unit in the boot.
