2006 SL500 iridium/charcoal keyless, bi-xenon, AMG
![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I've had my 2006 SL500 since sunday. I pretty much love the car so far. It is my dream car and a large portion of my salary is going into the lease payments ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Anyways, I can't get Nav to work. The MAP functionality works fine. This tells me: A) GPS works B) DVD is being read fine. But, when I hit settings on home, the voice says "Navigation not active". And when I hit destination entry, the screen with the alphabet comes on for a split second and then the screen goes back.
I asked tele-aid (since I have to call them once anyway) and he told me to eject the DVD and take it to a dealer if that didn't work. It didn't. Any ideas?

Hello everyone! New owner and my first post.
This may be off topic but I just purchased a 2006 sl 500 and looked at the nav disk and it has 2005 date on it. I was wondering if this is the correct one or should I have a 2006 disk. A little help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your nav disk might just be a 2005 Revision of the maps.
That is just the date when the maps were updated, usually
they release two versions a year.
