#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.

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.
#430 of 963 Portable DVD player by nit2 Mar 02, 2004 (10:26 am)
Mike734: I think you are right on the money on buying factory-installed vs aftermarket. -Would you mind listing some of the makes and models that merit consideration and do any of them come with wireless headphones. -Some of these portables sling around the front seats and I am worried that they may deactivate the side airbags. -BTW, how does one tell if you have the latest patches for the NAV? TIA
#431 of 963 How can I tell if my Ody '04 has the patch installed? by nit2 by andrewtran71 Mar 03, 2004 (6:38 am)
It's kind of hard to tell because the "bugs" were few. Examples include: 1) Some destinations being on the wrong side of the road 2) Could not save addresses in the address book 3) Some screens freezing up and you have to press cancel to get out 4) Could not access previous address sometimes   They said the patch disc would be available at the end of January or Februay. I got mine in February so I don't know if your January Ody had the patch disc yet. But I guess if you don't encounter any of those "bugs", then it's okay.
#432 of 963 Andrewtran71, Thanks for the response by nit2 Mar 03, 2004 (10:11 am)
So are I haven't come across any of the bugs, but I am going to try to save addresses into the address book because I haven't had an occassion to try that feature out yet. Thanks for sharing the info.
#433 of 963 Just installed 2.11c on my 2001 Ody by ceric Mar 20, 2004 (10:08 pm)
My 2001 came with 2.02c version. I got the notice from Honda the other day, and decided to buy it. Recently I visited Lake Tahoe, and found some changes near 267 and I-80. Last year, many vehicles follow my Odyssey to I-80 on the new road because I could see I-80 from my NAVI (they couldn't know where it leads to). That was a great moment to have a GPS.   Anyhow, the installation was a piece of cake, and it works fine. The new POI and many new detailed "un-verified routes" are great. I would say the $190 or so spent was well worth the money.   Personally, I would only upgrade when I see the need. That depends on your zoaming area of course.
#434 of 963 more on 2.11c version by ceric Mar 21, 2004 (7:34 pm)
Correction: 2001 Ody came with 2.03 version.   Had a chance to use NAVI today. Wow, the 2.11c has a different voice! It is a lower-pitch, more native English voice rather than the original voice which sounds like English spoken by a Japanese lady. Non-offense to the latter. My family enjoy the new voice. It is attractive.   One cons, though. The system seems a bit slower, but not too much.
#436 of 963 New disc by mike734 Jun 07, 2004 (4:36 pm)
I just received the new 2.11c navi disc. After installation I am unable to access my Personnel data base. The pin number has changed. Does anyone remember the default? Is there a fix? HELP! Replies to this message: cardude (Jun 08, 2004 10:05 am) mike734 (Jun 08, 2004 5:25 pm)
