Folks, I have 2005 e61 and yesterday noticed that the sat nav did not come on, when selecting it using the iDrive control, I got a message 'Please Insert navigation DVD'. I checked and the DVD was still in there, I've tried ejecting and reinserting but still no joy. I've tried an MP3 disk in the DVD drive and it appears to work fine, but the navigation does not - any ideas?

Your map dvd may have some scratches or defects that prevent it from being read ... If your DVD reads MP3's that might indicate the drive is not the problem. To confirm I suggest you borrow a known good DVD map and see if that isolates the problem to the DVD itself.

I have had that issue before! what a pain! I had to get a new dvd and when I did they gave me the updated version. That one did not work because I did not update my nav from the year before so I ended up buying 2 dvds one for the previous year and the new one. works good now. Good Luck!

It does turn-out that the original nav dvd has a few scratches on it - how they got on there I don't know. I never remove it!!
I will attempt to make another scratchless copy from the ISO backup I made awhile ago and see what happens, if that fails I'll get a DVD lens cleaner.
One annoying thing is that part of the image off the DVD looks as though it is peeling and have a horrible feeling that maybe something has clogged the lens or mechanism inside.
