Second thing: Do you have a TV tuner fitted? if so, unplug the nav and let the TV take over generating the picture to ensure the rest of the system is OK.
But it may be that the nav unit has failled. You could try sending it to VDO in Wetzlar Germany for repair.

Yes it is odd, at least compared to how the drive acts when it's not reading the disk properly.
I disconnected the battery a couple of times, for several minutes, with the same results each time. But I'll try again and leave it disconnected for an hour or more. EDIT - disconnected battery for several hours, but that didn't affect the situation.
No TV tuner or anything else is installed. It's totally stock electronics.
Sounds like you agree that it may not be the drive. I'll probably get one anyway, as a gamble that it will fix the problem. Then at least I can reuse it if I have to buy a used full replacement unit.
Thanks.
