NAVI PROBLEMS

At times after driving for long distances my navi will act up

cannot read disc check dvd

so after a month or so I decided to take it to the dealer (oil change etc)

They told me I needed a new disc $280
I told them no thanks.
After getting the car back I checked the navi a week and notice.


so I checked the disc and its still my orginal disc it just doesn't work anymore.
At lease before I went to the dealer the navi worked just not all the time. (no scratches)


so I called the dealer and asked them what's up, there response was I have to buy the update disc nothing they can do.

My question is there a way I can get my old disc to work? (downgrade software)
Is there a cheaper disc? where and how much?

you can always find image files of the DVD online somewhere and just download and burn it out.

For the Nav shutting down try pulling the nav fuse under the hood. It should restart it.

I bought a Garmin Nuvi 1350. The Nav-unit in our cars is an ever-loving joke. Pretty sure I've used it so little it thinks "home" is where the PO still lives.

Garmin w/ lifetime traffic and map updates= $140.00
Crap-tastic Merc-Nav w/ updated disc= $80.00 + shipping and it still sucks.
