I've had my
MCS for a few months now, bought it second hand, so I'm slowly getting round to doing all the little jobs to make it perfect.
I opted for the Sat Nav equipped car as I don't like the idea of my wife being able to see the speedo too easily and besides, the Sat Nav might come in handy one day.
Unfortunately, the Sat Nav stopped working and I had no joy getting it fixed from the previous owner and the dealer wants £800 for a new DVD unit. So I thought I'd whip it out and try cleaning the lens, but while it's out, can you reset the computer part of it?
I have a feeling that the unit has been flashed to the latest software as I found a re-writable CD in the drive. Just incase it's this upgrade that's caused the problem, would a hard reset switch it back to the original software settings?
The symptoms of the Sat Nav not working are:
If you leave the screen on the car stats screen, it's fine
When we first got the car, it had the dodgy disk in and would work for a while, before completely losing what road you were on and a loading maps message would be displayed. Now that I've ejected the disk to see what version maps it was, it won't let me put a disk back in.
If you select Sat Nav from the computer screen, the screen keeps going blank as if it's lost it's signal.
Thanks for any help you can offer and hopefully any future posts will be of a less technical nature.
