Still love the nav. Love Love Love Love Love it. Sorry just wanted to bring this discussion up to date. If you are in the Real Estate business I can not imagine not having this option. It shows not only how to get to your destination but your proximity to schools, rivers, lakes, some ponds, railroad tracks, major highways airports and most all other points of interest in most towns.

Replying to: madijo (Aug 11, 2004 6:32 am) I cannot imagine buying another vehicle without at least a touch-screen NAV, if not the new voice-activated one. I just love taking road trips because of the NAV. I just cannot get lost because of the NAV. But I had a scary dream last night. I had a dream in which the NAV would not pick up any signals! It was horrible. I was in state of panic. What a nightmare! But then, it picked up signal and started working again. Man, that was close. But really, NAV is great. Gotta have NAV. I was thinking about getting a Lincoln Navigator with NAV. Hey, that sounds kind of poetic. The Navigator with the voice-activated Navigation System. What kind of Navigator would it be if it did not have NAV? The Navigator must have NAV. I think I'm going crazy with NAV. Geez, thanks a lot, man! |

| Purschased my Ody 2000 with Navigator. Have used it extensively for 4 years. I cannot imagine not having it. When I drive the Ody, I never get lost, I always find my way to where I am going, with some great short cuts. No matter where we are, no matter when, we just punch in home address and we drive back. When I drive our other cars, I take wrong roads, get lost, waste hours, etc, etc. Nav is crucial. Will buy another car this year, and it has to have Nav, or I won't look at it. Worth every penny !!! | |

Q. -- Does the '05 Odyssey navigation system have it's own dvd drive hidden somewhere for its dvd data disc? Or does it share the dvd drive that the entertainment system uses? Q. -- If the navigation and entertainment systems *share* a dvd drive, what can the navigation system do *without* the data disc in the drive? (e.g. some, but not all data is avail with or without the disc inserted?). I've ordered an '05 Odyssey XLS with Navigation, but my dealer doesn't have one with nav. to show me. I'd give up my deposit and buy a Sienna if I can't use navigation *and* let the kids watch movies simultaneously. I posted a similar question on the Consumer Reports discussion board and the lone responder said that he *believed* that there was a separate, hidden dvd data drive somewhere so that you could use 100% of the navigation functions while watching a movie (no compromises), but he wasn't sure.

Replying to: hondainternets (Sep 27, 2004 2:41 am) Q: How about the Touring trim? Touring uses premium audio system, which comes with a subwoofer under the passenger seat. I saw it there myself. Therefore, where would Honda stick the NAVI DVD unit on the Touring models ??? Maybe on the EX-L it is still under the passenger seat. Did YOU see it or are you still giving us info from the prev. year models ?

| Im not talking about the song but the hosing that Honda gave us seniors on the 05 Ody this year. Last years Ody you could get NAV without RES this year Honda in an effort to sell more RES tied their hot selling state of the art NAV to the RES so if you want NAV you have to take RES as well. The RES is mainly used by van owners with children BUT many of us seniors do not have children riding with us except when we baby sit our grandchildren and we have to go out with them. We need navigation more because as we get older we begin to forget more and with navigation we would not get lost or forget our directions | |
| Some of us don't want the RES system. But I think Honda saw that not many NAV only Odysseys were sold, so they just paired them off and forced the small minority of us that want just the navigation system to buy leather and the RES just to get the NAV. | |
