I haven’t driven my ’06 with NAV for about a month since the weather has been so bad. I’ve been driving the old trusty ’96.

Today I went to take it out for a spin, and the battery was dead when I tried to start it. When I turned the ignition back on it wanted a NAV code. I looked mine up and it is the same as the radio code. It wouldn’t take it. After a few tries, the NAV screen went blank. I disconnected the battery terminals and charged the battery, when I turned it back on it now wanted a radio code that I could enter with the right radio knob. The NAV screen appears as normal when initializing, but then the Security code window blinks and the screen goes dark. I do not have the chance to enter the code again.

Something is really screwy here. According to the manual (yes, I read it) you should get 10 tries, and if you lock it out, turn the car off and on and you get 10 more tries. I can’t keep the screen on long enough to enter the code again. I even removed and reinserted the DVD hoping to get it initialized again.

HELP! Anyone else have this problem? Is my NAV system hosed? Dealer is closed today.
