Navigation freeze--"please wait"
Every 2 to 4 weeks, the navigation system on my 2006 SLK 350 displays a message saying "Navigation Activated--Please Wait." The message doesn't go away. The only way to restore navigation functions is to stop the car, remove the DVD in the trunk and reinsert it. Sometimes that doesn't work either and I have to reinsert the DVD 3 or 4 times. I have taken the car to the dealer twice for this. The last time, they said there was a service bulletin on this issue, did some software updates, and told me it was fixed. Two days later, it happened again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have any idea what the fix is? Thanks.
