Navigation Map won't load and gas gauge issues?

jarodl · #1 11-10-2010, 11:23 AM

For whatever reason the navigation map in my X5 either hesitates to load when I first start the car or doesn't load and says the system can't read the DVD. Anyone else have a similar problem or is this typical of the idrive system?

Also, when I fill my car with gas, the gauge only goes to the line before the full line. If I keep pumping after the automatic cut off on the nozzle sometimes I can get it close to full, but I don't like the idea of continuing to pump well after the nozzle cuts me off. It isn't just one particular gas station as it happens every time I fill the car.

I thought I would check in here before I have to take the morning off of work and bring it in to the dealer.

For the fuel gauge issue, try a tankful with Techron concentrate.

DVD player is going bad. Happened to mine. Replaced under warranty about 9 months ago.

Thanks for the responses.

I don't have a Chevron dealer anywhere near me.

Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order. Anyone else have this problem with the DVD player?

If you do have CCC navigation system (DVD based) most probably your DVD reader is almost dead. We used to see few vechiles with similar problem.
But first of all I would suggest you to remove your DVD with maps and make sure it is not scratched and clean. If this is the case buy CD Cleaning Disc and clean your DVD drive. If this not help... most probably your CCC navigation DVD drive is dead. Maybe it is time to switch to CIC navigation system instead ?

Thanks, I checked the DVD and it looked fine. I have never removed it from the drive beside that so I can't imagine how all of a sudden it could get scratched or dirty.

This is common issue for all CCC nav system. If your DVD is fine than most probably - trip to the dealer. Does your vehicle still under the warranty ? If not, do not spend money for the new CCC DVD system, better get CIC. This is just my 5 cents.
