My Satnav on my 1999 S320 didnt work when I bought the car. Despite several attempts at inserting and ejecting the CD/DVD. I have just stumbled upon a fix and thought I'd share it on here in case anyone else is having the same issues.

Using a free piece of software called MagicISO, I created a .iso file of the entire CD. I then burnt this image onto a new blank CD using any commercial CD burning software (Nero or Sonic).

When I inserted this copied CD into the Command slot, Hey Presto! It all started up and worked fine.

The original CD didnt look scratched or damaged in any way.

Pleased that it worked,, the original may have been a copy where the reflective surface was too dull
