Is the nav cd/dvd in? I only get that message after starting the car before the DVD loads.

Ok i guess the car did not come with a dvd!!!!! where can i get that anyways???

Pretty sure your car comes with cd. I found mine on ebay. They have cd's & dvd's. The cd's are numbered for each section of the US, so you will have to find the # for your area

My DVD was there, but it was scratched. Same message...

Then DVD reader was bad. MB warranty replaced that.

Which car and what year?

riannausa

2006 sl500, by the way it says that its a dvd player built in, i tried putting a dvd (movie) in but i hear sound not picture!!!

I believe the dvd player is only for the navigation discs. I recall reading that the US command units do not allow for movies to be played for fear of accidents. I could be wrong.

riannausa

what part number for 2006 sl500???

That is correct. Model years 2005-2008 can only play back DVD's with sound and not picture. For MY2009, you can get the picture as well. A company by the name of Nav-TV can unlock your unit so that you can play DVD's as well as hear them. Hope this helps...

Maybe the reader? Nip into a dealer and ask them to load a "good" CD.
