2000 CLK stock Nav issue/question
I recently purchased a 2000 CLK that has the stock CD Nav system. When I put in a nav cd or music cd it spins up then shows a reading cd error. I tried a lens cleaner cd but still get the same results.
Is there a way to fix this or somewhere I can send to get this repaired?
Also, is it possible to install a newer Mercedes Nav headunit with DVD into the existing stereo setup? I really like the integration with the steering wheel controls and dash computer so don't want to go aftermarket.

Does the head unit on this have an unlock code like the head unit on my ML430? I found the link to cleaning the laser but don't have a code in the car. If so, I'll need to head to the dealership before unplugging the head unit. If the radio needs a code and I don't have it, the wife is going to kill me for messing with her tunes.

I get the cd read error when I try to use a music cd. The cds are normal and not burned.
I don't have a Nav CD to try, I only have Nav CDs for my ML430 which won't work in this unit.
Once I get this working I'll be looking for Nav CDs on here or Ebay. I'm just leery many of the ones on Ebay are copies.
I've thought about replacing with after market but the speakers, amp, changer all work and the wife mostly wants this to work for music cds. She has Tom-Tom nav on her Sprint Mogul that is much better than the nav on most cars. I rarely use my ML430 Nav but having a CD slot in the head unit is what she wants.
