My parents just got rid of a '99 RL. They used the Nav extensively.
 
I refuse to buy a car without one, and so do they.

Any way to mess with the system by jmatthews

Is anybody aware of a knowledge base anywhere out there to "fix" some of the annoying things on the NAV? How about these ideas:
 
1. Is there anyway to program around the "OK" screen when you start up?
 
2. Is there anyway to make a movie DVD play on the ront screen?
 
3. Is there anway to get the NAV to do anything cool that is not commonly known?
 
4. Is there anway to play a dvd in the rear and listen to XM radio in the front? (Book says no)

To Answer your questions:
1)I believe there isn't because of the "Safety warning" issued on the screen.
2)No 2005 NAV system's will play DVD's in the front screen for one simple reason:
safety, that's what car makers believe
3)"Cool Like What" give examples
4)Yes, shut off back speaker, make back passengers use head phones, and turn XM in front!
 
To answer other question's I've seen:
yes, you can play a DVD and still use the Navigation system.....
hope your questions are resolved.

Bug in my 05 Ody Nav by jmatthews

I have a recurring problem. Sometimes after startup, with the NAV on, I hit the "AUDIO" button to switch to that screen. It beeps but the screen doesn't switch. I just keeps a version of the navigation map. The only way to fix it is to shut down the car to reboot the system. Any idea what that is? I'm not sure, but it seems to be related to hitting the audio button soon after the "OK" screen. (but not always)

Does anybody have problems saving addresses in the Address book in the NAV?

With tongue firmly in cheek, I submit.....
 
<drum roll>
 
5. You can earn extra money as a taxi service and know that you'll always be able to find your destination.
 
4. Listening to the computer voice giving the directions is SOOOOOOO much more soothing than your significant other screaming that you just missed your exit.
 
3. It's a really neat way to hide your CD-changer!
 
2. No one can ever actually fold up a map once it is opened. Why invite the headache?
 
And the number 1 reason is.....
 
1. IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!!!!!!

LOL. It DOES look really cool.
 
I think it is hard to make a solid case for NAV unless you tend to travel a lot to places you haven't been. We have found it useful when heading to a museum somewhere and we are not sure exactly where it is, but then, we could have looked it up on the Internet. A couple times we used it to select a nearby restaurant in which to eat (has those Zagat reviews). I suppose there are better uses, but we have not yet taken it on vacation or a trip. The back-up camera rocks, though, and it appears on the NAVI screen.

Well - I wanted the NAV but figured that I would not use it much - five weeks later and WRONG!! - it rocks. Case in point. My wife and daughter needed to go to a theatrical performance +- 75 miles away. I easily found the venue in the Navi and followed the directions to a tee. When I dropped them off, my wife said to feed my other kid. Unfamiliar with the area, and my kid indecisive about what to eat, I pulled up restaurants and immediately got a "yes" for one +- 1 mile away. The Navi told me how to get there. Next, with only a few bucks left and needing to go back to the venue and wait for the event to be over (fee to park), I pulled up "banks" and found a no-fee ATM about a mile from the restaurant. Navi got me to the bank without incident, hit the "previous destinations" button as now I was totally turned around, and the Navi got me back to the venue without incident. We pulled into the parking structure, backed into a spot, popped To Fast To Furious into the DVD, put the wireless head phones on, reclined the seats, and had a great time. So, I guess I feel good about getting the Navi package afterall. The XM radio is pretty cool, too.
