Acura-Honda DVD navigation fix and repair


The next step was locating a replacement drive and disc. Fortunately, I was able to find a reputable vendor who specializes in Honda navigation system repair. They also do Acura system repairs so I highly recommend them. When you conduct your search, be sure to select a vendor that has an established business and website. They might charge a bit more but the peace of mind and additional communication is worth it in my opinion. After a phone call to address any worries I had, I sent the drive in for service. It was important I send them the drive, but also the disc and the navigation security code so they could completely troubleshoot the issue.
Originally I thought perhaps the shock absorbers in the drive had failed, thus causing the disc scratching. However, the technician told me the “OK” button missing is actually due to a PCB board issue within the drive. I didn’t ask how or why the disc became scratched but that seems to be the reason the “DVD disc reading error” would sometimes come up. It was about $375 for them to repair the drive and I also needed an updated navigation disc. A replacement disc on eBay was about $95 but the shop fixing my drive quoted me $98. I figured for the additional $3, I’d have them to bug if I ran into any issues. In a few days and nearly $500 later, the refurbished drive and new navigation CD were in my hands.

After re-installing the unit and powering up again, we received the “acquiring its location from the GPS satellites” message. After about 10 minutes of driving around, this message disappeared and normal operation began.
Reinstalling the drive was another five minute job (make sure you set aside the mounting screws in a safe place). After turning the car on, and entering the navigation security code, the navigation system came back to life and we haven’t had any issues with it since. It’s also nice that we now have a 2012 navigation disc that is up-to-date.
Some additional advice I’d like to provide – save all your bills and paperwork related to this fix! Honda (Acura) has a service bulletin open for this issue, but they’ve stopped short of a full blown recall. In the future, Honda might recall certain models that are likely to experience this issue. If you already did the fix prior to a potential recall, Honda will only reimburse you if you can provide a receipt for the work done. This happened to my dad’s old 1991 Honda Civic for a bad ignition coil, fortunately he had all his paperwork and was reimbursed. Another thing to consider, you’ll be able to use your radio, CD player (if equipped) and climate controls while the navigation drive is out, but the touchscreen will be completely dead until the navigation drive is hooked up again. Make sure you’re comfortable using the buttons for everything until your drive is fixed and reinstalled. That’s about it – if this article was helpful please comment below and share your experience. Alternatively, a Facebook like or Google+ is also appreciated.

    I received the inquiry below and thought it best to post and respond on this article thread for the benefit of viewers.

    Alan,
    Interesting issue you report below. For our 2006 Accord, I confirmed all the touchscreen functions and navigation are managed in the DVD drive itself, which resides in the trunk. If possible, I’d suggest swapping your drive and nav DVD with another similar model and see if that solves the issue – if so you know the issue is with the drive and/or DVD. If you can’t do this test, I’d send the drive and navigation DVD into an expert anyway as that’s probably where the issue is. If they confirm there’s no issues, then the next thing I’d check would be all the connections and hardware you can access. Please let us know how it goes and thanks for sharing!

    Best,
    Chris

    Chris,
    In searching the web for an answer to my problem, I came across your site. Not having found a definitive answer, maybe you can help.
    I have an Acura TL, 2007. For no apparent reason a few months ago the nav-traffic overlay transmitted by XM stopped working; however, the XM radio still works. I refreshed the signal numerous times. XM customer service told me their end was working, the problem was with the radio. An initial call to Acura, was useless. I was told there is no component on the radio that handles nav-traffic. However, XM tech service said there was a module that needs to be replaced.

    My search for an answer revealed other Acura owners were having the same problem. The blogs listed several causes…
    1. A software update needs to be preformed by Acura. (If so, why aren’t there numerous Acura owners with this problem)
    2. Acura has issued a service bulletin about the problem. (On the other hand, someone wrote, no bulletin has been issued)
    3. The Acura dealership can check for the problem if they have a MVCI Kit. (true or false)
    4. There is a part that needs to be replaced but it costs $2400. (That is more than the nav system cost originally)
    5. Another individual said Acura did a hard reboot of the radio. (The nav overlay still wasn’t working)

    Acura is a good car, but I don’t trust the service department at the dealership in Alpharetta, GA. Several years ago, I had a problem with the hands free link draining the battery. The local Acura said not true. From a dealership out of town, I got a copy of the service bulletin, showed it to the local dealership and still had a major arguement to get the part replaced. Haven’t had a bit of trouble since.

    Thank you,
    Alan
    Marietta, GA

What Does the Honda Navigation System Update Include?

The all new Honda Navigation DVD update will ensure that your in-dash system is upgraded with all the new streets, roads, junctions, subdivisions, and highway changes that have happened across the United States since you bought your car, or since you last installed Honda map updates. This will give you the peace of mind to continue to use your in-dashboard navigation with reduced chance of getting lost, or being late arriving at your destination – this is because the routes will be as accurate as can possibly be with the new software release.

The new DVD and disc will include coverage for verified and unverified roads within all of the 48 contiguous United States so all angles are covered for use within America (with exception to the Hawaii and Alaska states).

In addition to that, the updated navigation map database also includes items called Points of Interest. POIs are useful items that you can navigate to at the touch of a button and feature locations such as shopping malls, stores, accommodation, restaurants, tourist attractions, and much more. The millions of POIs are updated on an annual basis and come free as part of the Honda Navigation System DVD upgrade.

Which Honda Models are Covered by the Navigation Disc?

If you own a Honda and it has in-built, factory-installed navigation in the dashboard, then the latest Honda Navigation CD will be 100% compatible in your car or vehicle. For more information on your exact model and year please select from the links below:

Save Money with the New Honda GPS Update

If you decide to purchase the latest disk then you can expect to save time, money, fuel, and on CO2 emissions. Below is a short graphical illustration which shows the money savings that can be made should you decide to upgrade your routes and directions software on your in-dash device. This is because the auto navigation system will let you choose the quickest or shortest route and lets you help avoid certain areas which lead to a high fuel consumption.

These costs and assumptions are based upon a gas price of $3.5 US Dollars per gallon and an average annual mileage of 15,000 miles (based on US Department of Transportation figures for 2011) driven in both inner-city and outer areas. It’s also calculated on a gasoline run vehicle of between 2 and 3 litres engine size.

How to Install the 2018 Honda DVD Map Update

Installation and loading of the new map database is very straight-forward. Once you have received your new upgrade of the latest Honda Navigation GPS DVD just follow these very simple instructions:

  1. Start up your car’s ignition and engine
  2. Turn on the power on the Honda in-dash GPS system
  3. Remove your old DVD and insert the new version into the disc tray or slot
  4. Enter your unique customer Authorization Code which is on the new DVD case
  5. The Honda GPS update will then commence so follow on prompts that you see

Once the new maps and routes are installed you are ready to start driving again, safe in the knowledge that you have the most up to date directions possible for the Honda Navigation system.

What About a Honda Navigation DVD Download, Torrent or Hack?

As well as containing any road changes and updates to the nation’s highways, this is the only official way in which you can successfully update your Honda Navi system. You will see some websites which promise to offer a Honda Hack or Torrent copy of the DVD. We advise that you never take this option up for a number of reasons. For a start only the official map updates will work with your navigation system, and each DVD is shipped with a unique customer authentication code.

There is the possibly of harming your in-dash system should you download a Honda torrent version of the software. This could in turn invalidate any warranty or guarantee that you have with your Honda dealer or the manufacturer. It really is not worth it, plus many hack and torrent websites are renowned for also deceptively installing viruses and Trojan Horse programs on the recipient’s computer or PC.
