[Mr.OmegaMan]

Got a genuine 2001 and 2010-2011 disc and its just ejects the disc say after 20-30 seconds. There's like a clicking sound and it doesn't sound like it's spinning constantly the disc just in short bursts.. Any ideas? Would a CD cleaning disc sort it or is it a bigger job 

Thanks

Nope, Laser is flucked 

Specialist job for repair sadly, if you can find anyone who will touch them

Probably easier to get another NCDC2013 unit, Would another NCDC2013 be a straight swap or will there be problems with codes...

99% chance another NCDC unit will also have a buggered laser, no point

Sounds like the laser is on its way out, if you want to prove its the laser and not the disk, wack a CD in there and see if it will play music (need to switch multi to single mode using the CD button).

Hi thanks for that didn't think it played CDs just Nav disc.. And yes it works.. So could be nav disc . Will upload pic of it later..

It's working now  can it only direct to towns as I can't find how to put a post code in it along with house name number street etc,.

These systems are not postcode compatible mate.  You can only put in the town, the street, and the house number or junction.  Once you suss that bit out though, they are very accurate.

Ah thanks for that bud , The woman has a strong voice on the Nav 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

So if not using the Sat-Nav is it best to get the disc out or is it okay to leave it in there ?

[doz]

I always leave mine in. Never had a problem

Laser *IS* on its way out. These units cannot handle CDRs without damaging them.

The Satnav is extremely accurate, but lacks features. No postcode entry (which is pretty pointless IMHO), but does do house numbers if the digital maps have house numbers. My road doesn't have house numbers on teleatlas or navteq maps (these 2 digital mapping companies account for virtually all satnav maps), so the system asks for a junction instead, listing all possible junctions on my road.

It comes into its own where those crappy portable units/phones etc fail, in those "difficult" areas where the satelites aren't that visible.

Works in multi storey and underground car parks as well, due to speed sensor and direction capabiliites
