Interested in finding out if you ever found a solution to this problem? My 2007 PAC'S nav turns on, lets me program, etc... however, when I am driving, it continuously tells me to do a U turn and is off route - it seems to be in the vicinity of where I really am... however is usually going the wrong way! I have ordered an update disk (last year's for only $50 because it has the original disk, and I don't want to invest a lot chasing after the wrong answer).
 
My other problem is that the voice sounds like it's constantly cutting/shorting out and the volume is VERY low (although set at 5). Any suggestions?

I have set my voice settings at 5 (highest) however it is barely audible and what you CAN hear sounds like it is coming from a busted speaker or that has a short in it. Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting?

When the Nav stopped working in my 2004 Pac, it was under warranty and the system, in the rear storage area, was replaced. Since then it has continued to work. Now, when it comes to updating with a new DVD for $200.00, I refuse to do that. I consider it a "rip-off". It's just a money maker. I have purchased a TomTom for under $150.00 which stays up to date and has more features than the Pac in-dash system. If I go to a rental car, the TomTom goes with me. If Chrysler drops their DVD price to, say, $25.00, then, maybe - but not at $200.00.

E-bay is a pretty good source.

My Pacifica is also '04. My navi died while it was still in warranty. Dealer tried new disc first - didn't work. They ordered new unit for me. Cost me a $50.00 deductible (and didn't include an updated disc). They told me if not in warranty, would cost $1,000.00.
Even now, with it working, I won't pay the $200.00 for an updated disc. For $150.00 you can buy a nice 5" TomTom (or other) with lifetime updates. An updated disc for $200.00 is a ripoff.

johnus43 (quote: er 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? )
 
Did you ever find out what was causing the 360 rotation? I have an 07 Signature edition - on occasion, the same thing happens to me. The screen can't seem to figure out where it is or where it is going. Did anyone make any suggestions?

mmcritter,
 
I never was able to get the navigation fixed. The Pacifica is a horribly made car. I sold the car taking a big loss just to get rid of it. The last straw was when the engine mounts broke and pulled the radiator hose out causing the car to overheat and leaving me stranded on a ski trip up north. Broken engine mounts!!?? Headlights would burn out every few months. Car went through 3 sets of tires in 70,000 miles as it would not stay aligned. Inner hubcaps would fall off all the time. My advice is to sell it as soon as possible. Chrysler pulled the plug on these fast because they are lemons.
