Pacifica Navigator dvd/rom replacement by rads

Yes, I replaced it through Radio City for about $300 - much less than Chrysler - and it works fine. They also suggested that because there's a mechanical part (scanning arm?) which simply wears out the more you use it, and I had mine on almost constantly for the first 90,000 miles, don't use it all the time, just when you need it or think you might need it. They say it'll last much longer that way. Too bad. I liked the looks of it being on.
The turn-around time was only a few days. They exchange your unit for another rebuilt unit.

Pacifica Navigation screen rotates 360 degrees by johnus43

I just purchased from an individual a 2006 Pacifica Signature AWD. The navigation system usually works well at first. After a few turns it gets a little off, like you are driving off the road, then the screen will start doing a wild 360 degree rotation. The only way to stop this is to turn it off. The DVD disk looks good to me and the unit usually works at first so I don't think it is the disc. I am sure the dealers will want huge money to fix this problem. I talked to my regular dealer and they never heard of this problem. I sure would like to fix this as it is one of the things I liked about the car. Has anybody else had this problem? Suggestions?

I have no idea what would do this, but you're probably right, that it is not the disc itself. I got good advice and a rebuilt dvd from my local car radio repair shop, give that a try.

Nav system latest DVD version and manual by reprahnek

Just purchased a '07 Pacifica with Nav...no disk. From what I understand, I need a disk that is identical to the one it most previously had or one version up (I read you can't skip successive versions without problems). How do I find out what the most recent version used was. All i get on the screen now is "searching for DVD" msg. Is there someway to get to a screen that will give me the information I need? Also does anyone know if the manual is available for download anywhere.
 
Thanks

Rads, Thanks for the update. I can't find a radio city on the internet. Is it a store local to you? Please advise. I'm anxious to get my system up and running. Thanks again.

Radio City has several shops in Maine, but they may otherwise be a local car audio shop. I would think that any car radio/audio shop near you should be able to handle it, since CD and DVD players are in their area of interest/service. Try 207-783-9555 (1009 Center St, Auburn ME 04210) If you don't have any luck locally. If you're handy enough to remove your unit and install a refurbished one, they may help. But getting it done locally would probably be better.
 
Good luck.

Refer to my previous note # 79: I left this project to a car audio shop here in Maine, phone # provided in # 79. I would suggest finding a local car audio shop where you are and turning this over to them for a diagnosis. I don't know where the Chrysler logo is stored, but if your screen is blank maybe they can help decide if it is the DVD (usually is) or something else. Sorry, best I can do. My local Chrysler dealer could have fixed my problem, but at an estimated cost of $1100, hence turning ( in my case) to Radio City.

I would agree with message #81.
I lost my Nav ststem in my 2004 Pac, However, I still had the Chrysler logo and the screen was active - it just said that it could not load the DVD. I went to my selling dealer and the DVD drive unit was replaced under warranty. (I had the extended warranty with a $50.00 deductible.)
My point is that the electronics are now so complicated that your best bet is to bite the bullet and go to a professional, such as the audio store or a Chrysler dealer.
