Pioneer AVIC-XD1557ZF (Ford OEM Navigation Unit) not reading disc


Recommended Posts

Hopefully I'm posting under the right section.  If not, please accept my apologies.

 

I have an 06 Lincoln that has an OEM navigation unit made by Pioneer (AVIC-XD1557ZF).  I attached a picture of the label on the top of the unit for reference. 

 

It has recently stopped reading the maps DVD.  The drive has become noisy as it's trying to scan the disc.  The disc spinning and laser searching seems louder than it has ever been.  It fails to read the disc and gives an error saying the disc may be dirty.  I have cleaned the disc and it is also doesn't have any scratches. 

 

My only thought is a bad optical laser?  I opened up the unit, removed the navigation drive, and found the laser to be a match for an AVIC-X1 laser listed on ebay.  These lasers are fairly inexepnsive, but I thought I'd trying to do a little more research online.

 

Thanks for any help!
