    Wont play music cd, put nav cd in and display constantly resets. Cleaning CD does not help. How do I remove the unit and try to look at the cd mechanism? :mad:

    First time post:

    I bought a used 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid (FEH), 78,000 odometer. So far, everything works great (2days ownership), however my Navigation CD used for my area (Map 1) failed to work. I get a load screen for about a minute or so, and then the unit would reset the whole radio.

    So, I popped in the Map 2 CD , loaded up fine, got some GPS functions, to my relief: if the unit is okay, then Map 1 CD must be damaged. Visual inspection of the Map1 CD has a one inch scratch (going with the circle) and what I thought, a small smudge that is permanently etched (close to the end).

    I read on the web that some people can make back-up copies of their CDs to protect the original CD they own, thus preserving vital GPS functions for the FEH. I tried to copy Map1 CD using Nero (V 7.11) but I had no luck. It couldn't recognize sectors, kinda went through a loop. see below for my computer spec:

    Intel Quad core 750
    4gb Ram
    Windows XP Pro
    Sony dvd/cd Burner

    I Googled "CD repair" and I downloaded a free program: "CD Recovery Toolbox" http://www.oemailrecovery.com/cd_recovery.html

    "...use it to restore information lost as a result of some mechanical damage of the disk (scratches, chips, different spots on the surface) or as a result of incorrect recording. Thus, the program can recover data that was considered lost..."

    After I installed the program, a couple clicks later (I enabled the ALL check-box) the program started to scan my Map 1 CD. It scanned pretty fast until it hit the 24mb (550 mb total) mark, then the program must have encountered the damaged area because it crept up very slowly. :sick:

    It took a long time to scan my Map 1 CD, I say about 30 hours total. Thank goodness I own a quad core, so I can multitask while the program scanned in the background, it bogged down my computer (took under a minute to open my web, and a few minutes to open more intensive programs-but all worked with no problems).

    I did encounter one major problem, my automatic windows update must have restarted my computer while I slept, :mad: when I checked my computer in the morning, it looked refresh with no programs running. I opened the folder where the program was saving my CD, and it was incomplete(only 4 folders out of 9). I noted the name of the last file inside the last folder that the program worked on, then I restart the process again. I checked "ALL" again, crossed my fingers that it would resume from the last file, but it didn't. :(

    Before the new process started, I was prompt to replace the older files saved in my folder, I click the "No" button (not the "No To All" button) until I got to the last file that I noted earlier, then I clicked the "Saved to All" button.

    I ate some breakfast, then I checked my computer, and the whole process had finished. :surprise: I then started my Nero program- I picked CD (not DVD)- picked CD-ROM(ISO)- copied and paste all the saved folders that the "CD Recovery Toolbox" saved. (default location). I burned the CD at the slowest setting (8x). I went outside to my FEH, popped the copy into my NAR system, and it worked perfectly.

    I got a working copy of my Map 1 CD from my original CD that came with my FEH. :) Very happy (you can't order just one map CD from the Navteq website, you have to get the whole package-$200).

    good luck.

    ZB

    p.s. I shouldn't say perfectly since I just did an initial test in my FEH with no problems. I don't know if all the files are saved, but it feels good so far.

    I recently purchased an 06 Mariner hybrid and it had all the nav CDs except the one covering Indiana which is where I live. Would trade for either coasts.

    You can usually find individual CDs on eBay as well.

    Just bought a 2007 FEH, when I bought it, noticed the Nav system said "disk is dirty" when I plugged in the Map 2 disk. Guy said he hadn't used it since he moved here from Florida. So i ejected the disk, looks pristine, plug oit back in, this time it says "The map DATA cd inserted is no longer compatible with the navigation unit. Please eject and insert a map release 2004 CD (the version on the CD is 3V)
    so I remove and clean again, this time when I press NAV, it brings up the reading cd screen for 5 seconds, then quits back to the radio. I try again, it does the same. The third time I try, it quits the nav system and reboots (radio not interrupted by this process.)
    So, the good news, the unit is still covered under warranty. I can't tell if it is the CD or the unit, because Navteq won't do anything for me except sell me a new set. (at $200) The ford dealership can't help me because they can only sell me a new entire set, they don't even have one to put in the unit to test local functionality. Anyone have a similar story? I may try copy/burning my disk 2 to see what happens, but I suspect problems with the unit

    Sorry about posting the last message twice. Well, I burned a new copy of my Map 2 disk with Nero, and success! The problems went away, system works perfectly now. I don't know what went wrong with the disk, it looks perfect, but at least I have a working system.
    So, now 2 questions.
    1. anyone have the later version (4V) of the disks? specifically disks Map 1 and 2? I would like to buy/borrow/trade for those 2 disks. Not really interested in spending $200 when I only use disk 2 and perhaps disk 1
    2. Has anyone successfully replaced the 2007 nav system with a newer one? I know newer units used a dvd, and even newer units have a hard drive. Any comments on possible upgrades?

    Dear Navteq -

    Kindly define "temporarily." You still have the 2007 discs up on your website selling for $199. It's the summer of 2011. Surely by now you've got new discs???
  • tevyetevye Member Posts: 4
    I will trade you my #6 disc for Pacific region (disc 1). My discs are 2006.
  • tevyetevye Member Posts: 4
    Which discs do you need/want to trade for? I am only missing disc #1, have rest of set.
  • jbradley70jbradley70 Member Posts: 1

    I have a mercury mariner Hybrid that was supposed to come w the navi
    disc. My boyfriend got me a disc for christmas and it still says that the disc
    dirty or incompatible, does this mean that if we copy my disc it should work.?
    the place we bought it from,claimed they would get me one but never did. I'm very frustrated.

    I have a 2005 Escape Hybrid and lost the disk I need (Disk 3- which includes Minnesota). Am willing to trade any of the others. Mine says it is NAVTEQ Map Release 2004.

    I don't know if later versions will work in my system and vice versa.
  • ragtop36ragtop36 Member Posts: 3
    Trehugger3,

    I have Ford Navetq V3 Disc #3 and would be interested in a trade. Do you have Disc 2(Northwest)? If so I am fairly sure they are compatible. Please let me know!

    Thanks!

    We got the whole package of navigation cds with our 2005 ford hybrid but are missing the southeast. We live in florida so that doesn't work too well. Will trade for any of the others or willing to purchase.
