It was working just fine until this past week where it kept saying it can't read the dvd. I took the dvd out and cleaned it and yet the issue continues. Anyone have the same issue? Is it a bad DVD player? My car is only 5 months old. The DVD seems to be in perfect condition.

Funny you should mention that. I've started having that problem also for the past few weeks. I have a 2008 X5 that I got a year ago and I've just started having the problem. It'll tell me to insert the disc event though the dvd is already inserted and it won't eject if I press the eject button. If I completely power off the car and remove the key for a few minutes, everything will reset itself and the navigation system will start working again. I did buy the Navteq update dvd from Navteq directly so maybe the issue is with the dvd. I bought a brand new 2008 X5 and the navigation dvd was a 2007! My dealer said the 2008 hadn't been released yet wish was crap because I got it from Navteq. Maybe I'll try going back to the 2007 dvd that came with the truck. Anyhow, good luck. I may just go in to the dealer if it continues. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen all the time so I'm sure the dealer will just say that they can't reproduce the problem like they usually do.
