Replying to: MartinWG (May 22, 2009 7:24 am) Since my original complaints, I have visited a couple of very large cities and the Honda unit works fine there. But, take it to the rest of the world and you're on your own, plain and simple. I don't care a whit about the integration that everybody talks about. The nav system is inferior and was from the get-go. There is no customer outrage and you can forget about Honda concern. I have talked with Honda national on a couple of occasions and all I get is a story about how Alpine made the system and how it's a little short on some aspects of updates and so on, but no one is willing to go the mat and get Honda to fix these things. If you write Alpine, you'll get no reply. In short, Honda is done with you when you give them the money or send in the payments regularly. And I have owned more Honda cars than this one so I know a little about the usual practices of Honda customer service. It's usually top-drawer -- but when you have a legitimate complaint about which they are doing nothing, you get shut out in the cold. Again, though, an extended warranty is going to change that one day!!! If I take any sizable trip today, I program the Honda and I also make absolutely certain to take my QVC Cobra with me for backup. Am I ticked off? You bet!! But it looks like you and I are about the only ones willing to tell Honda the bare truth -- the thing just don't cut the mustard for the average customer who lives somewhere other than in a major, major metropolitan area. |

We just purchased an 06 Odyssey Tourning and I believe the DVD in the navagation system is still the original. I know I can get a new update for a couple of hundred bucks from Honda but are there reliable sources for used ones out there? If so what do they usually go for?

| System is repeatedly locking us out and requiring the entry of the 4 digit code in order to proceed. Battery not disconnected or in need of a charge. Anything else known to cause this? Thanks | |

We just purchased an '08 EX-L w/o Navigation and would like to buy a Kenwood or Pioneer system for Nav / Bluetooth and backup camera all in one. My question: is there any navigation system that will fit into the dash and look like it was factory installed? i dont want a big screen on my dash. Please suggest.

Replying to: sebring95 (Jan 26, 2009 7:54 am) "This "problem" has to do with the order in which you select different menus. Try this from the main nav menu: search places, shopping, sort by distance to travel or city vacinity, then input name. If you just search by name it pulls "Dillards" out of its arse." I tried this with my 2005 Honda Odyssey and the "sort by distance" or similar option was not there at this point of the process. Anyone with a 2005 Odyssey get this to work? Does the newer DVD work like this? Now if I already have a route in, I can do a search by vicinity, but just looking for a Blockbuster video is ridiculous.

Replying to: singitloud (Jul 16, 2009 11:56 am) Menu, Places, Shopping, All Shopping, Input Place Name, Distance to Travel:typed in Dillards Gave me a Dillards starting with the nearest (about 70 miles....are they still in business??) and then on from there. One thing I have found though is the names of places are all over the place. I've searched "outback" for outback steakhouse...and some were "out back steakhouse" and others were "the outback steakhouse". But yes the Ody nav is pretty lame either way. Blackberry helps me find things and then I can put in the address to Ody nav and away we go. Usually. |

I'm being transferred to Germany and am taking our 2007 w/Nav system with us. We're trying to get our hands on a DVD covering Europe. I know the current system only has the U.S. and most of Canada. Anyone know of where to get a Europe DVD? Anyone every hear of the Alpine system being compatible with another company that might have a Europe DVD?
