Insert DVD Navigation Disk

[eglmainz]

This morning, after parking for a few minutes to grab breakfast, upon returning to my car, when I went to 'Ready" mode, the Nav system complained briefly that no DVD disk was installed. For a second, I panicked, thinking someone may have broken in.

As I started to look for the signs of forced entry that I felt I must have missed, the system started to load the DVD, and after a minute or so, did complete that load, and seemed to run fine after that.

The odd thing is that I did not touch the DVD Navigation system. I was just starting that car, which was parked about 5 minutes. Prior to that, I was listening to XM when I pulled in, and did not touch the system at all when I arrived (parking or when returning).

While it seems to have worked fine after that, it deleted the 'cookie crumb trail' that I was displaying on my map, and I could not locate that to turn it back on.

Has anyone seen this before, in a 2010? In an older Gen2? Is this indicative of a larger potential issue? How do I get the 'cookie crumb trail' back?

I once ejected the NAV DVD by accident from holding down the eject button for too long.

As for the "cookie crumb trail," do you mean route trace? Maps > Show on Map > Route Trace.

That's it... Thanks. I could not remember this morning. I understand if I was touching the Eject button, then it would have made sense.

Instead, all I did was turn off the car and leave. When I returned, I simply sat down, and pressed 'Start'. Instead of the usual logo showing up on the NAV screen, I got the 'no DVD found' message, or whatever it said. A minute later, it loaded, and then ran fine. (but I never touched the Audio System at all! Odd.

This morning, for the third time now (in two months), as I started the car, the NA screen says, "Please Insert Navigation DVD". The odd thing is that I have yet to eject the DVD disk, and have not done so once since owning the car!

Has anyone had to wait for the Disk to load on it's own, without having ejected the DVD? When it does this, it also deletes many of the settings that I have on the NAV, such as defaulting to allow Toll Roads, and leaving the 'Cookie Crumb' trail on the map.

Do I have something to worry about here? Anyone else getting the message for no apparent reason? Each time it has happened has been when starting the car, and each time that this has happened, it resolved itself within a minute or two. This is beginning to worry me.

Two days ago, this happened to me as well--I had to wait a minute while it told me the DVD was loading. As with you, it happened randomly when I started car.

I would suspect a dirty DVD. Eject it and look for smudges on the bottom. Wipe it with your cotton shirt anyway and pop it back in.

If this persists, keep a log of when it happens and take the car in - may be eligable for a head unit swap if the DVD isn't defective.

This is the first time I am hearing this problem on a gen 3. Eric, pop out the nav disk and make sure there isn't some type of dust on it. If it continues to happen, bring it in to one of the local dealers and have them make a note of it on toyota's system.

Never had a problem. Had the system on our old 2007 Camry also.

I would pop it out and see if the installer got a hair or lint on the disk or it looks like there is a scratch on it or dirty.

If that doesn't work, I'd call the dealer and see if they could swap out the disk with another car or order you a replacement.

I just got my Prius about 10 days ago and am loving it. Had a Charger RT before, go figure.

I am having this problem with my Nav unit. Did your go away or did you have it fixed?

Thanks
