Cleaning media drives, CDs and DVDs

If necessary, dirt can be removed with a commercially available CD/DVD cleaner or with isopropyl alcohol. Please never use petrol, paint thinner or record cleaner, as these can damage CDs and DVDs.
Use of laser equipment
Laser devices are divided into the safety classes 1 to 4, as specified by DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/VDE 0837. The optical readers installed in your vehicle are classified as safety class 1. Lasers used in devices that fall into this category are very weak and well screened, so there is no danger if used correctly.
