Should this be a problem when buying update software for the nav? I dont want to go and buy another disk to get the same problem. If an MMI update will fix it how do i go about doing this?

You didn't say what version of Navigation you bought, but the MMI version doesn't really influence the Navigation unit other than whether or not it supports 3D / birds eye views.
This is because the NavBox has its own firmware that's updated by the Navigation DVDs [and you should have had an update, which you'd see on the MMI screen, if you went from 2003]. Have you got VCDS to check the NavBox firmware or alternatively run the hidden red menu to see what version of firmware is now in the Navbox. [See attached note for how to do this].
The firmware was updated pretty much every year until 2009 which has the last version of the NavBox firmware - 1060. [Full table below]
I too suspect that it's because you trying to use a copy rather than an original. Some NavBoxes don't seem to like them!
Since you've got such an old Nav DVD, first step might be to buy the cheapest OEM DVD that's post 2009.
