'04 Nav problem

[Deuce]

First, I wanna start out by saying, what a great forum! Did alot of reading before I just bought my '04 H2 Lux, learned alot, and I'll definitely know where to go when I need help!

So, my first problem is with the stock nav system. When I purchased it, it did not come with the nav disc, but came with the empty case instead. I can't find a part number on the case anywhere, but it says its Version 2.0.

Today, I picked up a new nav disc, it came from a 2010 Escalade. GM part number from this one is 20883771 and its Version 8.3.

Anyways, when I put the new disc in, the nav unit says "unable to read data...check if map dvd is correct"

Are these discs model-specific, or should any disc work in any nav unit? Or is it possible that maybe my nav just doesn't work?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Hi welcome to the forum. 2008 up nav discs are different. It has to be 2007 down, someone with a older truck will know for sure. Also nav discs only work with models it was intended for. Most will cover a few models.

Darn, totally not what I wanted to hear, but I guess that's better than hearing that my nav unit is shot!

Thanks for the info, I guess now I'll try to find the proper nav disc!!

One more thing regarding my nav system. I've read that its a DVD nav, so to me, that should mean that I can play DVD movies in it? Or is it just for the DVD nav disc? Sorry for the stupid questions!!
