Sat-Nav broken?

L7AUDI · Mar 9, 2013

I started a thread some time ago about my sat-nav http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/a4-a4-cabriolet-s4-forum-b6-chassis/153721-mmi.html

I finally got around to buying a genuine disc of the classifieds section

But it still won't work! I put the disc in and the message "disc not properly inserted" comes up, I have gently slid the end of a business card into the slot and I can feel that the disc is spinning so assume that it is actually in there properly but that there is some other problem :shrug:

It was confirmed in the orignal thread that I do have the RNS-E unit.
Any help would be appreciated as I either need to spend some money or I have just wasted some!

The laser proberly needs cleaning. I bought a faulty rnse very cheap of here with the issue your describing. All I did was take the top off the rnse then there is a clear plastic cover, remove one side of that so you can lift it up and then get some cleaner on a cotton bud and clean the laser. Worked a treat on mine and mine is running perfect with a non genuine disc.

Yeah you were right!, took out the unit and cleaned the laser so now all working fine :arco:

Just out of interest if anyone else does this, when I first plugged the unit back in and switched on I couldn't the unit to respond so it was stuck playing music and i couldn't even get the front down to install the nav disc!
All I did was switch off and leave for a couple of minutes and then when I fired it up again everything worked, so I put the disc in and after it had done several software updates and re-boot's all was working A1 :icon_thumright:
