2009 Honda CR-V EX, 2.4 RE3SECTION Audio-Navigation Unit Removal/Installation - ('07-09 models)

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ), and the precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) in the SRS section before doing repairs or service.

NOTE:
  • Put on gloves to protect your hands.
  • Take care not to scratch the dashboard and related parts.
  • Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or other damage.
  • Do not work in a dusty or dirty place.
  • Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work.
  • Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands.
  • Do not work with dirty hands.
  • Be careful not to fold the flat plate cable.
  • Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands. (If you have touched it, wipe it off thoroughly.)
  • Before replacing the audio-navigation unit, make sure to remove the customer's navigation DVD, and their audio CD, or PC card. Remanufactured audio-navigation units do not come with a navigation DVD. Re-install the customer's navigation DVD, audio CD, and audio PC card into the new remanufactured unit. If the navigation display won't open, manually remove the navigation DVD, audio CD, and PC card (see CD, DVD, AND PC CARD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION - ('07-09 MODELS) ).
  • If you are replacing the audio-navigation unit, write down the audio presets (if possible), then enter them into the new audio-navigation unit.
  • If after replacing the audio-navigation unit, the vehicle starts up in the inline diag screen (see SYSTEM ALWAYS COMES UP IN IN-LINE DIAGNOSTIC MODE (FACTORY DIAG MODE) ).
  1. Make sure you have the 4-digit anti-theft code for the navigation system.
  2. Eject all the discs from the original audio-navigation unit. To avoid scratching or damaging the DVD, temporarily place the DVD in jewel case.
  3. Remove the center vent (see DASHBOARD CENTER VENT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) and Climate control unit (see CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  4. Remove the audio-navigation unit mounting bolts (A).

  6. Remove the bolts, the screws, and the brackets (A), then remove the center panel (B).

  7. Install the audio-navigation unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
    • Make sure all connectors and the antenna lead are secure.
    • Enter the anti-theft code for the audio-navigation unit, then enter the audio presets.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then reinstall the customer's original DVD, verifying that the DVD is free of scratches or smudges.
  9. Check any official Honda service website for more service information about patches for the navigation system, and if any should be applied to the new audio-navigation unit.
    NOTE: Simply transferring the DVD from the original audio-navigation unit to the new audio-navigation unit does not assure the correct software for the vehicle will be loaded into the new audio-navigation unit. Doing the DVD transfer without doing software patches may cause the new audio-navigation unit to appear to be malfunctioning.
  10. Enter the new audio-navigation unit anti-theft code.
  11. Park the vehicle outside, and do the GPS initialization (see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS ).
  12. Give the new audio-navigation unit anti-theft code to the customer.
