I have an older AVIC-80DVD that has recently stopped working. I believe the problem is in the DVD drive. Often when I start my car, the screen tells me I don't have the appropriate disc, but if I eject and insert the disc several times, it will eventually boot up (I DO have the appropriate disc . Howeve, the map never loads... I get a blue screen with an icon for my current location. The screen leaves a cookie trail of where I have been, but it is just a line on the blue screen - no map...

 

My question: is it possible to boot and load maps via a PCMCIA card (with a CF card)? I guess along with this question would be wether or not I could also update my maps and/or install both east and west discs on one card...

 

Any ideas/thoughts???
