You may need to run a cleaning disc through the Nav DVD slot. Sometimes the eye gets dusty and must be cleaned to restore function.

Otherwise, Remove and disassemble the navigation DVD Player and clean the laser lens with alcohol. If that doesn't work; "Please Replace Navigation DVD Player".

I just did this last night. Disassembled and blew it out with air. Seemed to work OK at loading up different locations. I tried the disc cleaner, but the fault would occasional come back.

For OP, per the sticky please post your year and location. Relevant to my reply here, and often w/ posts in general.

So--for both OP and the rest of the crowd--how about the little known/remembered TSB? Also depends on your year. Contrary to TSB talking about only 2004's I can confirm even my early build 2006 W12 had the "old" firmware--it says right on p. 1 production change was in July 2005 and mine was built a few months earlier. See: http://uberlame.com/a6_tsb/Navigatio...tion%20DVD.pdf for some info, but then buried in a different TSB is the info about the firmware update and the Audi update disc part number: http://uberlame.com/a6_tsb/Navigatio...I%20screen.pdf

Anyway, I get the error maybe every few months, and have tried the disassembly cleaning routine w/ maybe limited marginal improvement but no cure all. For like six bucks, I sprang for the update disc mentioned in the second TSB and installed about 10 days ago. Too early to tell if any result, but I know from running it the firmware did update as described, and that per the TSB pre-install check I had the suspect firmware beforehand.

I had this error on my old A6. Tried taking Nav drive apart and cleaning it. It would only function no longer than 3 minutes after a cleaning. I wound up replacing the Nav drive Then it worked as it should.
