Well, got tired of my MK4 nav system going to sleep with 'please wait a moment' or even 'cannot navigate to this destination' even though it was still speaking to me.

I have read KiwiJochen extolling the virtues of a new laser so i took the plunge & replaced mine (£10) & WOW, the difference in speed is amazing & no more errors. Didn't realise just how much it must have been struggling.

Did recall reading somewhere about the colour of the plastic surround (original was black & new was white) but couldn't remember the significance. Something to do with CD & DVD?

Anyone any ideas about this?
