    It is of course possible that the Sat Nav unit itself is faulty and not reading an ok CD - but its much more likely that the CD itself is scratched from bouncing around the glove-box for too long etc.

    Try http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Scratched-CD

    - Also Maplins sell an excellent motorised Disc repairer which polishes out scratches via an automatic cycle [€30ish?] - well worth having as it is then on standby for all of your CDs[mucic or data]/DVDs/games etc.

    Hi Mac - point 3 from the above link in post #2 [did ya have a look ? ??] should have piqued your interest. Likelyhood of sucess ~99% ;)

    Burn a new disc. If you can get the CD to work in one CD player—especially your computer’s—but not in others, try burning a new disc. The CD burning utility on your computer may be able to read the CD well enough to produce a perfect copy. You may wish to try this even if the CD doesn’t play correctly on the computer.
