Ok, My 07 TL's Navi is slowly getting worse.

It's actually eating dvds.

It started with my Navi rebooting fairly often. After reading up on it here, I removed DVD and noticed a line on the DVD about a 1/4'' in from outside edge.

I recently (~9 months ago) changed to a new updated DVD disc. I did save the previous one.

When i place the previous one in, it worked fine again. What I'm afraid is that the Navi insides is pemanantly grooving my DVD.

So after further reading here, I found I can send my unit off to Alpine Electronics and for $160 they'll repair it.

Question now is how do i remove the Navi from my trunk?

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Remove the carpet around the unit. There are 4 twist type fasteners holding down the bracket that holds the drive. Unplug the connectors. Remove the 4 screws to take it out of the bracket. Box it up and mail it in.

 

Update, Alpine now wants $360.00 to fix the unit.

 

PS ,mine is "eating" discs too. I bought used disc after I kept getting the DVD Read Error. Did Alpine fix yours? Did they say what needed to be replaced or why it was eating up your DVD's?
