anyone know where i can buy a mk3 dvd nav system drive?

i have tried google and it has failed me. and one ebay store has it for over 300. do i dare to ask a dealer how much one is.

i can not figure out for the life of me why the damn thing wont work anymore. i took it apart tried to manual reset the drive so that it would receive a disk but it wont do a darn thing.

 

Upgrade to an MKIV if you can. They are not cheap and BMW wants over 1K for them You can get one from BimmerNav for 700.

You might also try the laser repair if you are willing to give it a go. Sometimes they go bad and this is the cheapest of the repair options.

ugh what a PITA.... i might as well do a custom nav install, it will turn out better and be cheaper. the stock nav system is a useless piece of junk anyway. the only thing i ever used it for as to tell my my mpg and range.

 

Lots of folks (myself included) just pray they don't fail. To be honest, if mine does, I will probably try to convert it to something else.

 

i think i may go and install a Nexus 7, and have that be my media player/ nav system.

i was looking at building a micro pc but it will cost about $300+ when the nexus 7 is 250 for the 16gb version

 

What about the new iPad mini? $329's not terrible. The nexus is good too, but if your any sort of apple fan as i, could be a suggestion worth thinkin about.
