MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - ZT-T Sat Nav Chattering ?!?

I've a ZT-T 190+ first registered Nov-02. Since buying this ex-MG Staff Car from my local dealership, I've had continuous problems with the SAT NAV CD chattering in the rear wheel arch. The dealership confirms there is a known problem of the CD ejecting at low temperatures. Anyone else having this problem, as me in the summer months, despite having a recent s/w upgrade? It very frustrating when you get the re-insert CD message when you are driving down the Motorway and need directions !!

We have had the Sat Nav in the 75 for two and a half years. It is a VDO unit. We have the same unit from the same manufacturer in the F for the last 5 years.

Both have worked fine and only spit out the CD out when you press the button!

Get the CD Unit replaced under warranty!

Cheers

Send it back before the warranty expires!

I can well sympathise with your reluctance to visit a dealership, mind.

The head unit is being replaced in my 03 ZT-T today. I have experienced the same problems - CD being ejected or not getting read in cold weather.

A few weeks ago the system knew where I was on the map but didn't know which direction I was going in (not much use g=for directions :-) )

My Dealer took a look and ordered a new head unit under warranty. He mentioned that they have had a few problems like this. I would go see your dealer and ask for a new head unit.

My ztt is also having a new clutch plate fitted to cure the occasional squeal when pulling away.
