did you check your fuses for the nav?
Same thing just happened to me today. While driving (& using nav system) got error "unable to read speed sensor" (or something like that). Cycled auto power, the system booted up (got chrysler logo), but that boot just got blank screen after. Next car power cycle nothing displayed at all...that's the current situation.
Anyone experienced this before? What are my chances that the dealer won't be quoting me a $2K repair bill?
Thanks!
Can someone tell me how much room there is in the dash of the 2005 Pacifica please? I would like to install the Panasonic Strada CN-NVD905U and would like to know if anyone has gone this route (pun intended) before.
Thanks in advance for your help.
after a minute it says
Please do not turn engine off
never leave that mode
thiis happened when attempting an upgrade from ae to af dvd
will this require a factory reset ?
what does that entail.
rmoval of dvd player or something else??
The Chrysler logo comes up and I can use the "step" button to change the display on the dash as well as the mi/km button, but no navigation system. I tried blowing out the drive. Also, I disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes to try a "reset". That didn't help I did take the disc to a computer and the computer shows that there are files on the disc.
Any Ideas..................Please?
I have just had a similar experience with my 2004 Pacifica. The message says "loading cannot read DVD-ROM".
Did you ever get a solution to your problem?
Thanks

So, has anyone had any luck in repairing or replacing the DVD drive?
Sort of irritates me - car is a 2004 -- yes, 5 years old but I only have 31,000 miles. Seems the system should last longer than 31,000 miles.
Thanks, in advance, for answers.
Does anyone know if they are indeed the same before I give it a try. I'm now convinced it is the drive gone bad. Anyone know if this might work?
Fortunately, I had purchased the extended warranrty when I bought the Pacifica in May, 2003. Turns out the DVD drive was covered under that warranty. I got a replacement for the $50.00 deductible.
I asked what it would have cost me if I did not have the warranty - they said about $1,000.00.
Hope you either have a warranty or your friend has good luck. If neither, you can get a 4.5 inch Tom Tom for $150.00 that can be updated periodically with your computer.
Please, advise.
However, if it had not been under warranty, it would have cost be about $1,000.00. That was just to replace the DVD drive unit. Nothing was wrong with the display in the dash.
You mentioning the instrument cluster - that's only part of the system. I would suspect, before it's all said and done, you'll be spending over $1,000.00 for a system that is not nearly as good as buying a Garmin or a Tom-Tom for a couple of hundred dollars. Yes, it's nice to have the screen in the dash, but for the difference in money, I can handle a unit stuck to the winshield that will work perfectly well.
Thanks.
The turn-around time was only a few days. They exchange your unit for another rebuilt unit.
Thanks
Good luck.
I Would appreciate any help. thanks

I lost my Nav ststem in my 2004 Pac, However, I still had the Chrysler logo and the screen was active - it just said that it could not load the DVD. I went to my selling dealer and the DVD drive unit was replaced under warranty. (I had the extended warranty with a $50.00 deductible.)
My point is that the electronics are now so complicated that your best bet is to bite the bullet and go to a professional, such as the audio store or a Chrysler dealer.
They will be happy to sell you a new DVD for $200.00, that is supposed to be more up-to-date - ? ? ? ? ?.
I bought a $150.00 Tom Tom that does a much better job and is much more up-to-date. I can move the Tom Tom from car to car as well as take it to Florida and use it in a rental.
Thanks,
My other problem is that the voice sounds like it's constantly cutting/shorting out and the volume is VERY low (although set at 5). Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Even now, with it working, I won't pay the $200.00 for an updated disc. For $150.00 you can buy a nice 5" TomTom (or other) with lifetime updates. An updated disc for $200.00 is a ripoff.
Did you ever find out what was causing the 360 rotation? I have an 07 Signature edition - on occasion, the same thing happens to me. The screen can't seem to figure out where it is or where it is going. Did anyone make any suggestions?
I never was able to get the navigation fixed. The Pacifica is a horribly made car. I sold the car taking a big loss just to get rid of it. The last straw was when the engine mounts broke and pulled the radiator hose out causing the car to overheat and leaving me stranded on a ski trip up north. Broken engine mounts!!?? Headlights would burn out every few months. Car went through 3 sets of tires in 70,000 miles as it would not stay aligned. Inner hubcaps would fall off all the time. My advice is to sell it as soon as possible. Chrysler pulled the plug on these fast because they are lemons.
@imeta - I bought an update disc on ebay... didn't work for me. #garbage
