MDX Navi DVD disk reading error Unformatted
My Navi is now giving me the Unformatted message.
I removed the unit and sent to Alpine for repair along with the $185 flat rate check. Got it back a week later. Alpine says they didn't fix it, returned my check and said that since it was a 2001 Navi system they no longer stock parts so I was out of luck! Acura wants $3,000 for a new unit! The dealer said to try to find one on Ebay.
Has anyone else on the forum replaced their Navi unit with success??

55,
I don't know what part needs replacing. The navi disk will actually boot up and work about 1 out of 6 times. Would that be the disk reader? If it needed cleaning I am surprised Alpine didn't do that instead of returning it to me saying there are no longer any parts.

Here is a replacement screen and drive:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...fAudioQ5fVideo
Comparing that ebay link to this site:
http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no
You can see $449 for the screen/drive is better than the $4000+ this site is asking!
