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?

Be happy, my whole command shuts down for days on end leaving me without even the radio! I'm going to take it in shortly.

I have also heard that there are torrents of this content, however cannot confirm same nor countenance such activities....

EBAY I have on too I will for 60 bucks. My other one sold for 70ish its the one that came with my car.

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

sounds like thay updated you nav. if the nav dics is older then the nav update the old nav dics will not work

JonMBZ

I didn't notice that you upgraded your software because my work blocks the image host. Mine wont work since it's the 2004.1

Bump to an old thread-

I'm having this same error whre only my nav does not work, everything else does. Before I give up and buy a Dynavin unit http://www.dynavin.com/products/product_dnv_mbc.php, anyone have experiance with this? I'm not having the update disc issue since I already have the 2010/11 disc.

Check the disc for cloudiness, hot and cold moisture put a film on my disc and just needed a quick wipe

Disc is clean, that was step one...I tried my old disc but ran into the same problem of the OP with version conflict.

RES

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

Still no dice...thanks for the tips guys.

Anyone else???

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.
