IL Just bought my first RX-8

Its a 2004 and so far I love it, it handles great, sounds great, and shifts smooth. I am having one issue atm my GPS controls don't seem to work. The GPS DVD loads but gets stuck at the part when i need to hit enter any ideas? Also will the DVD gps reader also play DVD movies?

Here are some pics

You have to push it straight down, its a little weird. If it still doesnt work, try pressing menu to see if that gets around it. Also, make sure the DVD is clean.

You may also want to check this forum out. https://www.rx8club.com/violations-53/new-nav-discs-finally-released-70966/page20/

Your welcome

Welcome and congrats on the new ride. Just got one myself and was having the same problem but just push the joystick down towards the floor(like into the car). Thn you should be good. Hope that helps. Stay up

Gratz on the new ride! Looks nice! Based on what I've read here on the forums, your GPS will not play DVD movies.
