I also noticed a couple times if we turned the car off for a break that when we returned the system will work again. I am thinking of buying a protable Navigation system to replace this one (which is a shame and waste of money) as I am very syspect about the built-in Nav system in the X5 and it is driving me round the bend . I have tried to clean the DVD's and the system itself with not much effect. Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening, and what I can do to solve this problem? Thanks
Do two things:

1. Upgrade to latest OS, just in case there is a bug causing your problem that is fixed in the latest OS.
Latest is 4-1/100, and is on the V31 OS disc

2. If that doesn't change things, then you have a weak laser.
Fix a new DVD mechanism, which you can puchase for a good price here:

A new laser will make a massive difference in reading ability.

Don't fit a silly little TomTom when you have such a superbly engineered integrated system
