Problems with DVD SAT NAV

**SINGHY** · 24-04-2008,08:19 PM

Anyone experienced a malfunction whereby the sat nav cuts out and you get a message saying "the CD/DVD is unreadable please check CD/DVD". I took it into AUDI and they said the disk was filthy which they then cleaned but I still have the problem intermittantly, it's quite annoying when you're near the crucial bit of your journey and you lose navigation.
Any ideas?

I would say you require a new sat nav DVD.

Sounds like your system is faulty. Could be a problem with the laser that reads the disc? Mine has been fine (so far). Where do you live? Some country's appear on both of the Sat Nav DVD's and you could try putting the other one in. Look on the back of the box and it tells you what countrys are on what disc.

just got my new 07 A4 Avant , and it seems that the Sat Nav isn't working quite the way it should.
When I bought it, the sat nav was miles out. it said I was somewhere 40 miles away. We thought it was a reception problem and it would cure itself with a bit of a drive.
It didn't...
When the nav-info is accessed, it says it is receiving no satellites.
So the navigation is just working from the distance and direction sensors, and not the GPS, as you can place the car on the map manually and let it go from there, and it works. But if the car goes onto a transporter and doesn't physically move , then the satnav still thinks it is where it got onto the trailer.
Its booked back into the dealers in the morning to have a look.
Anyone heard of this before or had similar problems?

You GPS antenna or the connections to it are borked. If it's under warranty the dealer should sort it quite quickly.

Hi,

If your disc was filthy, I can only assume there is also dirt / dust in your Nav unit DVD area.

As you drive, this dirt / dust gets shaken-up and interupts the laser reading the disc? just a thought.

Perhaps it needs a good old clean out!
