#420 of 963 well by jchan2 Dec 24, 2003 (1:58 pm)
he just uses the NAV to get where he needs to go- I doubt he'll ever use the POI feature.
#421 of 963 Any word on the Navi SW update? by kph Feb 05, 2004 (7:40 pm)
<Bump>   Reading this group, it appears that last fall a buggy 2003 update to the non-voice Navi software was issued, with a promise of a fix by about now.   As the owner of a 2000 Odyssey with the original DVD in it, I was planning to upgrade it this year, but was hoping to hear about this update before moving.   Any word out there??   TIA

No words yet, but I'm planning on calling them back again soon. The lady I spoke with said it would be ready by late Jan. or early Feb.

Installed the patch disc. Drove my Ody over the weekend. NAV seems to be working just fine.
#425 of 963 Question by paulmlac Feb 29, 2004 (2:41 pm)
I'm looking at a new Ody with Nav. From reading the messages above, it looks like an updated disc just came out. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the car would come with the newest disc? For instance, does the dealer install the most recently available disc during delivery? Or would I have to push to get this included? It seems like I should get the latest disc given that my car purchase date would be after the disc release date...   Thanks!
#426 of 963 Question by paulmlac by andrewtran71 Mar 01, 2004 (8:06 am)
According to the Honda people selling the new updated NAV disc, the 2004 Odyssey does have the updated disc. However, the question is, since the updated disc contains bugs and required the "patch" disc, will the 04 ody also require the patch disc. If so, you need to make sure on the contract that Honda will give you the patch disc for free. I would make them put down on contract that you are getting the latest updated Nav disc plus the "patch" disc. If you are buying a 2004 model instead of waiting for the new 2005 model, you better be getting no less than $3K off MSRP! Plus, if I were you, I would demand on CONTRACT that they install the factory DVD for $1,500---that is if you wanted DVD player. Otherwise, they will charge you $2K plus tax if they do it afterwards.
#427 of 963 How can I tell if my Ody '04 has the patch installed? by nit2 Mar 01, 2004 (11:20 am)
I bought mine Jan 2004 w/NAV.
#428 of 963 TO andrewtran71 by paulmlac Mar 01, 2004 (5:17 pm)
Thanks for the good info re: the patch disc. I'll look out for that.   We actually don't want the DVD. We have a portable one that runs off the cigarette lighter. While it's not as convenient as the installed one, it also prevents having to tell our 3 year old no (several times) to watching a movie on the 10 minute ride to the grocery store. Can't watch a movie if there's no player in the car...   Thanks again.
#429 of 963 Portable DVD player by mike734 Mar 02, 2004 (9:37 am)
I opted for the Navi but not the installed DVD when I bought my 2000 Odyssey and boy am I glad I did. My kids (now 4 and 3) are just now ready for "entertainment" on longer trips. There are plenty of good portable DVD player available. I think the best reason to go portable instead of built in is that you can take the unit with you. You can use it on an airplane, in the cabin or where ever. Not to mention the Honda unit is overpriced. I recommend the built in Nav as opposed to aftermarket but aftermarket DVD as opposed to built in.
