Blaupunkt Mfd Sat Nav Cd Slowly Dying

[wardmw]

Hi all,

 

I am having issues with my sat nav CD and wondered if anyone can offer suggestions as to what may be going wrong.

 

Over the last twelve months it has taken longer and longer to start up. When I turn the unit on the music works fine but the sat nav system displays "Cannot read CD" or something similar. After about fifteen minutes it changes to "This is not a proper CD" and five minutes or so later it starts working properly. I have been using a 2004 CD so I sprung for a newer one (2004/2005) but the delay is about the same.

 

Is this the unit itself or do I have to get a brand new CD?

Have you tried a CD cleaner disc Martin ..... you'd be surprised at the rubbish that turns up on the disc brushes once the laser lens has been cleaned.

Thanks Bleeno, i haven't tried that yet so I'll give it a go and report back.

Well I tried that but I'm not convinced, primarily because the lens cleaner required me to select track 1, then track 15, to ensure that the lens was clean. Try doing that in your Sat Nav!

 

I'll search out a different lens cleaner and see how I go.
