chargerRT Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 So do we have to get the upgraded/newer East and West navi disk so that the "Please insert appropriate disk" would go away??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zinner Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I can't imagine you would have to upgrade to get the message to go away. It more likely the motor in the drive or something is failing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rebelranger Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have this same problem. Contacted Pioneer Service and they said I need to send it in for repair. $200 for the repairs as the unit is out of warranty. I'm considering changing to a Z-2 or 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kap0w Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Whenever I switch discs to a newer version, it will display that message for a little while - 10 seconds maybe. Then it will reboot and upgrade. If I've upgraded and I put in an older disc, it will have that message. Make sure you're using a disc as new or newer than you've previously used in the unit.

Rebelranger Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mine upgraded OK used it for half a day--then it died. Before the upgrade the drive was making a loud clicking noise and it seemed to get worse. Finally after upgrading and using the vehicle for a while it just displayed that message. Now with the new disk it displays that error message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now with the new disk it displays that error message. Wow... I'm no expert on this kind of thing but it sounds like maybe the disc you burned was bad and it somehow caused damage to the unit. I'd try going back to whatever you had before that and pressing the reset button to see if you can get it to downgrade or something. I can't really say more than that what might be happening.

Rebelranger Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I tend to agree. But I have not been able to downgrade. I see others have similar experiences over at this thread: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18827 So I'm shopping for a z2 or z3 just not sure I'll install it myself. I was thinking also about the F series but the smaller screen is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firebirdude Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am having serious problems with these updated discs as well. Worked great at first. Now not so much at all. It was a mistake to even bother with them. I will not be recommending them to anyone. On a side note, I was trying to perform the downgrade.... and after I release the eject button (after the release reset button alert is displayed), entering the code does nothing for me. I type it in and nothing. Hints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kap0w Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm in the same boat. After I upgraded my D2, everything was great, but after a week or so it stopped showing a map at any resolution greater than .5 miles, which makes it basically useless. I'd be happy to downgrade, but I don't know the procedure - can anyone help out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
