Sat nav problem. Std stereo

[Matthew017]

Hi all. Have seen this site a lot while looking at things about my is200. So thought I would try for some advice.

 

Recently bought an 1999 is200 sport with built in sat navigation etc.

 

My problem is the sat nav doesn't work. It comes out but the screen stays black.  If I leave it. it might flash the screen really quickly now n then. I have what I believe is the controller for it. I also have the standard stero still but I get the ERR3 error wjen ttying to play a cd. I cant eject it nor out one in.I have tried to wiggle a CD into tempt one out if there's one in there. but it seems as if there's no where for it to go as if it's a flat wall.

 

Does anyone have any tips for getting the sat nav to work? And aube fixing the CD part? 

 

Thanks all 😆

Have tried the search bar but I get a list of problems with aftermarket head unit.

 

If I open and close the sat nav sometimes it works but takes a lot of opening and closing.

 

Thanks

To start with the stereo and sat nav are by and large two separate bits of equipment.Your sat nav not working has nothing to do with the error 3 code you get on your stereo.

There could be various reasons why your sat nav doesn't work for example it could a faulty reader(module)-this is located in the boot and is your sat navs source of information,could also be that the reader has no disc.To be honest it's difficult to say what your actual problem would be.

It has a oem  disc and the sat nav does load up if I keep opening and closeing it. It just flickers on and off till it eventually stays on. If I close it and open it sometimes it comes back on like the screen lost connection and resumes. 

 

And I know they are separate but I have seen that If you replace the stereo the sat nav won't work.  

 

Thanks
