Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Obtaining A Navigation DVD
If the Navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a yearly updated DVD, you have 2 ways to purchase one. You can either call (888) 549-3798, or order on-line at www.hondanavi.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD for this model has a white label, and cannot be ordered through the parts system. The following DVDs will not work in this navigation system:
- Earlier model navigation DVDs (black label)
- Map software programs manufactured by other companies
- DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the fall of each year. They may contain the following:
- Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
- Fixes for minor software bugs
- Additional features
- Map matching must be done any time the DVD is removed or replaced.
- Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD may undergo a half a dozen software only version upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the letter at the end of the version number changes, while the database (maps and POIs) remain unchanged.
- Never promise your customer future free updates. There are no free programs for updating the navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available for purchase each fall. The on-line DVD order site provides information when an update for a particular color DVD is available.
- Damaged discs are not warrantable unless they have been damaged by the navigation system.
