need help with nav unit

[sandy]

I have discovery 3 HSE DTV6 2005.
I have a problem with the nav unit

The screen is starting but it's not showing anything but the sentence "waiting to start download" on a white background and none of the buttons works.

I tried to disconnect the unit for few minutes but it didn't fix the problem.

I went to land rover central garage but they didn't know what the problem but they advised me is to buy a new one!!!

I'll be happy to get some help from you members.

the bootloader code in the nav drive is corrupt! the only way to fix this is for the dealership to insert the firmware disc into your drive.

I think the update takes about 30-45 mins and is covered under warranty - i rememeber reading a technote about it

bright side.... if you have old software you get new software for free!

Yes its on Land Rover GTR, its not the same bulletin that deals with software version, but it is specific to the boot loader fault.

Tell you dealer to look at Tecnical Bulletin LA419-002 on the Land Rover Global Technical Reference website.
