My Stock navigation system no longer reads the Navteq CD, have any of you with the NAVTEQ encountered this problem and found a fix.

I tried the disk cleaner and it worked for a few times but now it no longer helps.

Is the CD visibly scratched?

If it's not and you are brave you can take the RB1 apart and clean the laser read head with some microfiber cloths and alcohol.

I just now took the RB1 out for cleaning.

Removed the cover.............. looked inside and saw an intense maze of small plastic parts.

I stoped and didn't go any further, i just blew the dust out with a hair dryer.

I'll reinstalll it tomorrow morning and see if it fixed the problem.

Both of the Mercury Mariner hybrids that my parents have (now down to one due to a wreck) have a NavTeq CD system... And both developed the same problem around the same time. The discs are perfect, never anywhere other than in a case or in the drive, and they don't use that drive for anything else b/c the vehicle has a changer.

I have tried fixing them, blowing out the drive with canned air dusters... No effect. When it gets into a mood and doesn't want to work, that is it.

The only solution I have found that works... Is to enjoy the thing as a radio and use a Garmin.

I am not saying "fixed"yet, but after blowing out the crud last night it worked great today.

About a year ago, I started getting the disc read error, please eject and check disc or something like that. I saw on another forum where cleaning the laser would fix this problem so I did but problem came back soon after. My disc does not really have any scratches that I can see. I also went to dealer and they let me borrow one of their discs they use for troubleshooting. Their disc worked fine in parking lot. I have ordered a replacement disc which has latest revision "AJ: from 2010. I should get it in a few days. I am hoping it will work. I will let you know how it goes. I think these discs just have issues sometimes; maybe mine is warped from heat because it stays in head unit all the time and it is pretty warm when you eject it...we'll see.
