anyone else have the same problem? with he NAV disk in, every now and again, usually about 20-30 seconds into the drive, and at various times throughout the drive, I hear a grinding type sound coming from the dash. I am positive it is the DVD player since it doesn't happen without the disc in it. The disc is perfectly flat. anybody else?

Pay close attention to when the "grinding noise" happens...Not sure if your noise is like mine, but I notice a bit of "unusual" noise immediately when I cross city boundaries. I suspect the unusual noise is simply the DVD reader going crazy changing its data set to the new city you just entered. The noise I hear seems to die down after about 1 minute after entering a new city.

There's nothing wrong with it. The dvd-rom is just reading some new info from the disc. Mine does it as well occasionally.

I here noises from my DVD very often, when the car is parked - before starting the engine or after shutting it down. Nothing wrong.
