Earliest DVD Version Application for Each Model
Each navigation system DVD contains a map/POI (point of interest) database and the navigation system software for each model that it supports. Inserting an older navigation DVD can cause problems since it lacks the software to provide the specific features needed for that model. Unfortunately, the navigation software does not detect or warn you that the version is outdated, and it may even appear to operate. Refer to any official Honda service website for more information about navigation DVD colors and versions.
NOTE:
Replacing a navigation DVD just because the version number is higher is not always warranted. A higher software version does not necessarily mean it contains newer software for your model. The navigation DVD contains software for all models that use the same color navigation DVD, and a revised number may or may not have software fixes or upgrades for the model in question.
Typical warning symptoms that an outdated navigation DVD is being used include:
- The Honda model navigation screen may display an Acura logo while booting up.
- A newly introduced model feature or current accessory may not display properly, and Extension may display instead.
- The system locks up when entering an address or POI.
- The current street (the street being driven on) does not appear properly at the bottom of the map screen display when the vehicle is driven on a main road.
- If necessary, compare the operation to the navigation system of the same model and year vehicle that has a current navigation DVD.
