Blue background means your MK nav unit is not working (it doesn't render the menus and it reverts to the blue-ish theme). And yeah, since the MK is gone, there is no nav capability either.

The disk can be pulled out with a needle through the tiny hole near the eject button. Similar to any other CD/DVD/etc drives. If the needle hole is missing, you will have to take the front plastic face off.

Unless its bricked, disconnect the two brackets behind the MK (maroon and blue) and reconnect them back on.

Just curious what's a x5 2002 wagon?:dunno:

Hi a x5 in Australia we have to call them wagons because of insurance sake

Is there any way you can rest the mk i heard if you disconnect the battery for 30 minutes it might work,and if i do will this effect the car in any way ???

Re-read the last sentence of post #2.

That's not the way you manually remove a disk from a MK nav. It is nothing like a normal CD player. There are a couple of ways to get a disk out so do a search on this forum. If those fail you will need to do the manual way which is also shown in pictures on this forum and bimmerboard nav forum also. I have done it several times. If your search doesn't work here or on BB site let me know and I will search for the url for you when I am more awake.

Found it. There is a small eject motor at the rear right. Loosen the screw and swing the motor to the side and rotate the white plastic gear. I use the tip of my little finger to rotate the gear.

Hi i got the disc out no probs but now i have no power light on and my screen is blue and no navigation on it is there a way i can reset the whole system,would disconnecting the battery for 30 min work

I assume you have a MKIV??? Do you? I would get a good Ver.32 disk and try to reload it. We can get them here through the dealer for about $10. The part number has been posted here before. Do a search. Be careful disconnecting power if you have a MKIII instead of a MKIV. The MKIV says DVD on the front. Disk number in this link.

I don't know but if you think it may be your disk then buy an original

Hi mate,

if everything you try fails, send it to me at Autotronic LCFS Pty Ltd in Moorabbin Vic.
