Ever seen THIS error message?

When I start up my car I get an error in big letters on the NAV screen "PC Card Slot Door Open" and then it says to seek service or something. I checked my NAV DVD door and it seems fine. Anyone know what this thing is talking about? I'll be happy to take it in to the dealer, but don't want to feel like an idiot if it's something easy. Thanks!

You said you checked it but I never noticed the door. Check this ebay auction for a good look a the door in the pics he has!

Hope this info helps... Personally... I never knew that little door was even there!

BINGO! When I said I checked the DVD, I checked the BIG door at the top...didn't even see the one on the bottom! A picture is worth a thousand words, thanks! Now maybe I need to stop taking those corners at 90 with my bowling balls in the trunk!

The large door is for the DVD, the smaller door is for a PC card that is used during assembly. It looks like a large Compact Flash card. This is what the earlier Navi systems ran on. They were glitchly, expensive, and had to be manually updated from time to time.

They're now used for initial programming. The shop manuals refer to them as "for use during assembly only" or something like that.
