Yesterday as I took off for work, I noticed no map on my nav screen. Below is the message I am getting. This is a 2004 and my guess is the nav has never been updated. I bought the GX 3.5 years ago as a CPO. Any ideas on what is going on?
It happened a couple times for me. Could be a dirty DVD head. Try to remove the DVD and put it back again.
I located the DVD player for the Nav system under the passenger seat. I then popped off the plastic cover, slid the "opener", but when I pushed the eject button under the slider nothing happened. I tried it with the GX off and running. Any suggestions for getting the DVD out?
Finally made the time to check this again. I had the key in the "on" position. The only "eject" button I found is the one under the "slider" on the front of the unit to the left side. Nothing happens when I push it. No sound at all. I checked the connections under the seat and everything appears OK.
When I first start in the morning, I do get the correct map for about 5 seconds followed by the message above. Not sure what this means. Is it possibly a fuse issue?

You probably have old and damaged disc. See if you can find a replacement (and newer version!) disc on eBay. A few years old discs are relatively cheap.Originally Posted by sprocket

Push the eject button, in 3-5 seconds, the DVD disc should eject. I don't know what is wrong. But I don't think it has anything to do with the fuse.Originally Posted by sprocket

Hey TZ - I'm on vacation using my wife's car. Won't be able to work on this again until next weekend.

ExploreI decided to live with the problem for a while but it started to **** me off again. I tried to get the DVD to eject but nothing happens when I push the eject button. Is there an easy way to determine if the player is getting power? Anyone ever have to replace the unit?
Sorry for the multiple posts.
I did a little more research and was able to access the "hidden" service menu using the following sequence of tapping the screen in my first post:

It didn't work every time, but I got there. Apparently it is able to read the version and other disk info. When I tap on the Loading button, there are a bunch of choices, 2 for US. One was TAB and the other I think was RSW. I'm thinking maybe I'll try re-loading the maps. Still can't get the DVD to eject though.
Anyone have knowledge of this hidden service menu?
