Sat Nav problem

[Johnharle]

Hi this is my first post. I bought a XC90 last week it’s 2005 with Sat Nav. Everything else works and am enjoying the car but the Sat Nav screen pops up turns on and you can control the menu with the steering wheel control but after about 10-15 seconds it just goes blank and pops back down. Anyone got any ideas as to how to fix it? It seems ok and I had a look at the disk in the DVD player under the seat and it is very scratched. But I thought it used a hdd? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

So if I'm correct, your 2005 does not have an internal harddrive and will rely on reading the disk. If the disk is damaged it may need to be replaced.

Perhaps some kind soul has an extra or is willing to make a copy.
I drive a 2011 (MMM+) so my discs are most likely not compatible with your system.

Thanks for the info. I have had a look on eBay but the amount of different options is a bit confusing. Fingers crossed for some kind soul to help.

Try turning it on without a disc in or just the door open and you should get the message door open on the screen and this will stay on.
When it turns off does the radio etc stay on or also go off?

[SwissXC90]

Try turning it on in diagnostic mode, and then read any errors it may display, and run through the test routines

To enable diagnostic mode:
1. Ensure the vehicle is completely asleep - at best doors closed and locked for at least 10 minutes, no remote control activity
2. Open vehicle, insert key, turn to PosI
3. Press ENTER, BACK, ENTER, BACK etc alternating continuously from button to button throughout the cold boot up sequence. You can use the steering wheel controls or the nav remote control, both are the same
4. The nav starts up in diagnostic mode, you can now run many tests and diagnose the system

[Johnharle]

I will try the diagnostic mode when I get home. The radio and everything else stays on just the screen that pops back down. Thanks for the quick responses.

I tried taking the disk out and it just says insert disk and close door but still goes off after 20 seconds.

Hi, suggest you may have a power problem to the satnav. The connections at the back of the reader under the seat are a tad exposed to little feet, well worth a check. Also the MOST connector (fibre optic). If the latter is disconnected, the radio etc (DIM) will be off too.

I would next try the display unit. I have never tried to move mine, but could be a bad connection there. I see no threads on failure of this so doubt if other have had problems so unlikely the cause.

My experience is based on ICM failure, but then with mine, satnav, parking sensors and cd would fail at the same time. Radio was always fine. This was evidenced by the selector mutton never giving the cd option. This happened after 10 mins working fine, but always ok after long power off. This was indeed the ICM and could be your problem.

For the latter I used lucas at Volvodiagnostic.com, who will give a lifetime guarantee with his repair/replacement. I can recommend him.

Hope this helps

[Johnharle]

I think your right with it being a power issue. Even in diagnostic mode it just turns off after a few seconds. Will check the conetions on the unit. I know the parking sensors has an issue as there not working and have not tried a cd yet. I will let u know. And thanks again for. The help.

[john langrick]

No need to indert CD, just turn the selector knob (right knob on radio) to select CD as option. When sat nav not working does this still give CD as an option?
