Well that didn't last long stopped working again today  ...Still plays CD's the music type though 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

But why would the music CD work an not the Nav disc is it possible i've bought a fake disc and its not able to read it correctly 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

This was the one i bought..

[Mr.OmegaMan]

It just ejects these discs now 




The blue one is the disc to use according to the seller..

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Does seem to be genuine but what's with the other disc 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

One other thing I'm planning on putting a Bosch S5 battery on it but on the card in the leather owners car book/case these doesn't seem to be a radio code just says..

Radio Type / Code.   2013 / ****

Will I have to get the radio code done when i replace the battery 

I do vaguely remember someone saying the NCDC 2013/2015 won't lose it's code when battery is disconnected / reconnected not 100% though.. 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Did also try a Sony brand CD cleaner which is clean only used it once or twice on the Bose stereo in the house and it ejects that also but when put in the multi-changer 4 disc player it worked..

But the nav disc slot plays all the music CDs that ive tried fine (all genuine not burned discs), as has been suggested possibly the laser is on its way out but why would it play the music discs    ..

Have read on some other threads that if the radio is cold the nav wouldn't work and would work when warm.. And I tried it today in the evening fairly cold and damp but its doubtful this is causing it not to work 

I'm not too fussed its just annoying.. If its there it should work that's how I look at these things but they rarely do work that is

2013 + CID here. I've replaced the battery twice, even sent the CID to repair (blank screen issue) and I've never had to use the code. I think it's not needed if you don't replace the screen or unit, so they keep paired.

Cheers

Using a CD cleaner will only shag it further, poor bloody laser.

Is the CD a pressed silver CD, or a greenish CDR (on the non-label side)? Certainly the pic above shows it to be a CDR.

But the end result is the same, if it ejects after about 30s with a message about inserting disk the right way up, then the laser is shagged.

Coding works differently on these, you can disconnect the battery without fear on these.

As TB says, that picture shows a Verbatim CDr

NOT a genuine disc !!!   

[zirk]

Nagelneue Original-CD (Neuware) in the sellers title suggests original, but I would agree with TB picture looks like a CDR, post up a pic of the whole disk front and back.

Yep, report the bugger to ebay looks like his sold loads.

Will do i'll upload full pics of both sides..

Is there anywhere that can fix these units ?

And could someone PM me a link to a genuine nav disc no more than £25 ideally ..

According to the seller you should put the silver disc in first to update the system but this disc looks like the type you buy from the shop to burn on to..

And then place the actual nav disc as he says then it will work

Yes it needs to update the firmware before running the Nav Disc. I seem to recall that that seller sends an original Nav Disc and a copied firmware disc. If your laser can't handle the copied disc just for the firmware upload then your laser focusing is fubared.

You'll enjoy replacing the Nav Laser

NCDx series do not need the update disk, whatever Navteq instructions (incorrectly) say, the updated software (last updated around 2005/6) is on the map disk on all the newer maps.

£25 for a genuine recentish map disk? You'll be lucky now...   ...a couple of years back, maybe...
