Alfa Romeo navigation discs are needed by those whose car has a Connect G2/DB3 system with a CD reader: the screen shows „Insert disc”, new roads are not displayed, or there is no map of Lithuania at all. On this page you will find which discs exist, which cars they fit, and how to fix it once and without unnecessary expense.
We will also explain what to do with the navigation in the Alfa Romeo MiTo, Giulietta and 147 – the systems in these models differ, so it is worth checking before buying anything. Below you will find approximate prices, the most common causes of faults, the steps involved and answers to questions.

Most common Alfa Romeo navigation problems
Below are the symptoms drivers most often come to us with, and what can usually be done.
Alfa Romeo navigation shows „Insert disc”
There is no map CD in the system or the reader does not recognise it. The cause may be a scratched disc, the wrong region, or a dirty reader lens.
What you can check yourself: Check that the correct CD is inserted (for Lithuania – CD10), and that it is clean and free of scratches. Try another suitable disc. Do not disassemble the reader.
We check the disc and the reader and select the right map CD. Diagnostics from 20 €, map disc from 30 €.
Alfa Romeo 159 navigation does not show Lithuania
Most often the wrong disc is inserted, for example Western Europe instead of CD10. An old map version may also have been left in the system.
What you can check yourself: Look at which CD is inserted and whether the region printed on it includes Lithuania. In some systems, after changing the disc you need to wait until the system reads the data.
We select the correct, latest CD10 disc. Price from 30 €.
Navigation no longer reads the CD
The reader’s lens may be dusty, the disc may be warped, or the reader mechanism may be worn. In older systems this is a fairly common problem.
What you can check yourself: Try another disc that is free of scratches. Do not use cleaning discs or liquids inside the reader.
We diagnose, clean or repair the reader. Cleaning or repair from 40 €, diagnostics from 20 €.
Alfa Romeo navigation shows outdated roads
Maps in older cars are rarely updated, so new roundabouts, bypasses and highways do not appear on the screen. This is not a fault, but outdated data.
What you can check yourself: Check the map version in the system and compare it with the version of the latest disc.
We offer the latest map disc for your region, from 30 €.
Navigation „can’t find” satellites or shows the wrong location
Most often the cause is the antenna connector, cable or antenna damage, sometimes tinted glass or the internal GPS antenna. Improperly installed additional equipment may also be to blame.
What you can check yourself: Check that there are no items placed under the dashboard or near the glass, and try it outdoors, not in an underground car park.
We check the antenna circuit and connectors, from 25 €.
Alfa Romeo MiTo navigation does not work
MiTo navigation is often different from the 159 – sometimes it is a factory module, sometimes a portable device or an integrated system. The cause may be related to software, maps or the connection to the screen.
What you can check yourself: Find out which system is installed: whether there is a separate device, or whether the screen shows the system name. If it is a portable device, check the power cable.
First we diagnose and determine the system type, from 20 €. We agree on further work and the price once the system has been identified.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta navigation does not work or does not show the map
The Giulietta has different multimedia systems, so the cause may be outdated software, damaged memory or a communication error. CD discs from the 159 will not fit here.
What you can check yourself: Switch the ignition off and on, and check whether a memory card is present (if your system uses one).
Diagnostics from 20 €, then we tell you whether we can repair or update the system.
Alfa Romeo 147 navigation does not work
In 147 models, navigation is often an optional extra, and due to the car’s age it may not work because of old maps, the reader or the power circuit. The specific cause can only be determined once the equipment type is known.
What you can check yourself: Determine whether the system reads the disc and whether at least the main menu is visible on the screen.
Diagnostics from 20 €, then we discuss whether it is worth repairing or updating.
The screen is dim or sometimes switches off
The cause may be a poor contact, a worn screen backlight component or a power problem. Sometimes the fault appears only after the unit warms up or after several hours of driving.
What you can check yourself: Note when the screen goes dark: at start-up, after warming up, or when driving on a bumpy road. Tell this information to the technician.
We diagnose and tell you whether it can be fixed. Diagnostics from 20 €.
Which Alfa Romeo models are these navigation discs suitable for?
According to the information we have, the Connect G2/DB3 system with CD (code al1) is used in the following cars: Alfa Romeo 159 (February 2008 – 2009), Alfa Romeo Brera (March 2008 – 2009) and Alfa Romeo Spider (March 2008 – 2009).
Not only the model matters, but also the production date and the type of navigation installed. Cars of the same generation may have different equipment, so before ordering it is best to tell us the model and year and to show what the screen looks like when the system is switched on.
- Alfa Romeo 159 – 2008.02–2009
- Alfa Romeo Brera – 2008.03–2009
- Alfa Romeo Spider – 2008.03–2009
If you are not sure which system is installed, photograph the screen while it is switched on and the CD reader – from the photo we can usually tell quickly whether the discs will fit.
Which Alfa Romeo navigation CDs should you choose?
The maps are divided into 11 discs by region, so you do not have to buy the whole set. For most drivers in Lithuania, CD10 is enough: it covers Lithuania in detail, as well as Estonia, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine.
If you are travelling abroad, additionally take the region you are travelling to. For example, CD09 for Poland, the Czech Republic or Hungary, CD06 for Germany, and CD08 for Scandinavia.
- CD01 – France
- CD02 – Spain, Portugal
- CD03 – Italy
- CD04 – Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg
- CD05 – Austria, Switzerland, southern Germany, northern Italy
- CD06 – Germany
- CD07 – Great Britain, Ireland
- CD08 – Scandinavia
- CD09 – Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary
- CD10 – Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (detailed), Belarus, Ukraine
- CD11 – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia
Travelling to Italy or Germany? Please note that southern Germany and northern Italy are also covered by CD05, not just by the main country discs.
Alfa Romeo MiTo, Giulietta and 147 navigation – do the same discs fit?
Usually not. The navigation in these models is often different: some cars have a factory-installed system of a different generation, while others have a portable GPS device or a separate navigation unit, so CDs from the 159 will not work here.
So do not buy „by eye”. Tell us the model, the year of manufacture and what your screen looks like, and we will tell you whether we can help. If you use a portable TomTom or Garmin device in your car, you will find the information on the page TomTom, Garmin, iGo update.
You will find navigation for other Fiat group brands on separate pages: FIAT navigation and LANCIA navigation.
Is it worth updating an old Alfa Romeo navigation system, or replacing the system?
If the system works and only the maps are missing, updating with discs is usually much cheaper than replacing the multimedia unit or installing a new screen.
If the CD reader no longer reads discs or the screen goes dark, diagnostics are needed first: sometimes it is enough to clean the reader or fix a contact, and sometimes it is worth replacing the reader. For the general logic of updating, read the page on navigation map updates.
Also, keep in mind that the systems in older cars do not recognise new roundabouts and overpasses, so even the latest disc will not necessarily show all the changes of recent years.
Before handing in the car or head unit, remove all discs from the reader – a stuck or scratched CD is one of the most common reader problems.
How Alfa Romeo navigation updates and repairs work
- Tell us the model and system. No appointment is needed – simply drop in at any branch during working hours. Tell us the model, the year of manufacture and what the screen shows.
- We check whether the discs fit. Based on the model and system, we determine whether Connect G2/DB3 CDs fit or whether your car has a different navigation system.
- You choose the regions. If Lithuania is enough, you choose CD10. If you are travelling abroad, you add the region you need or the whole set.
- Diagnostics, if there is a fault. If the system does not read the disc or does not show your location, we carry out diagnostics first. We agree on the price before starting the repair.
- You collect the discs or equipment. You collect the discs or the repaired equipment and test that the system works.
Frequently asked questions about Alfa Romeo navigation
How much does an Alfa Romeo navigation disc cost?
A single regional disc, for example CD10 with Lithuania, costs from 30 €. The full European set costs from 150 €. We give the final amount after confirming your system.
Which Alfa Romeo models do these discs fit?
Connect G2/DB3 with CD (code al1) – Alfa Romeo 159 (2008.02–2009), Brera and Spider (2008.03–2009). For other models, this needs to be checked.
Do the same discs fit the Alfa Romeo MiTo, Giulietta or 147?
Usually not, because the navigation in these models is different. Before buying, tell us the model and year so that you do not pay for an unsuitable disc.
Which disc do I need for Lithuania?
The CD10 is the disc for Lithuania – it covers Lithuania in detail, as well as Estonia, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine.
