Title: DVD nav problem
Post by: deva on 11 October 2006, 11:32: Hi,

I bought a nav disc off eBay but my unit does not allow me to input a destination. The unit shows my current location and will navigate me "HOME" but thats it!! Do you think that the problem lies with the DVD disc? Also I do not have any intructions on how to use the unit so could someone tell me if I can convert the distance from miles to kms, please.

Thanks alot

You can convert the reading from Kms to Mls easily by changing the settings in the MFD computer - make sure British Imperial is selected as opposed to British Metric.

Thanks

By the way, I also have Version 3 of the Sat Nav disc.

I have the DVD V3, however it has scratches on the disk :angry: - causing the calculating route to take ages for some routes (mainly for the south coast of the uk). Does anybody else have a dodgy disk ... can I raise it with my dealer - they installed the disk from new and not even looked at it until this morning when I got fed up waiting for the route ...

It sounds like the disc is damaged! I cured the problem with mine with a brand new disc from the dealer. Everything is working fine now. One problem I had was that the dealer told me that as the unit was aftermarket it would not be covered under the warranty :sad: Had to pay Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£180 :sick:
