Nav disc upgrade lead to blank screen :/

So I inserted the 2012 nav update disc and I have the 2005.1 version and now with the new one installed I get a blank screen when I'm on the maps. All you see is the arrow representing the vehicle with a circle around it and everything else around it black.

I decided to insert the original back in and now have the same problem with that as well. Any ideas on what's going on?

This place is a joke.
Try a reboot, aka pull the fuse for radio and nav, or didconnect the main battery for a while

I believe that you will need the service update disc for both the nav and the comand units...

Thanks all helpful info. Ill wait it out a bit I guess. Considering the original cd is doing the same thing I'm hoping it just a little time for satellite connection

+2 on the command service disc upgrade advise. I had to do this as well a couple of years ago and nav worked after that. Do google search on the service disc upgrade for options.

i also have a navigation question-

my car is a 03' and imported to HK from the UK.

it has the sound system with tape cassete+CD+ CD changer and navigation of course.

problem is that when i turn on NAV it ask me to insert navigation CD (which i dont have).

from what i understand since my car is imported than Mercedes Hong Kong cannot activate my NAV system, however, is there a way i can still make my NAV work?

i really want it to work.
