Navigation Update by tshirt1515

Hello,
I just found the site and it's been most helpful thus far, thank you. I have a question about updating the navigation system. I just bought the updated disc (which is on sale for $149 through Feb I think) and am wondering how difficult it is to install by myself. I'm sure the dealership will want to charge an arm and a leg to install it and I'm curious if anyone knows what is involved. Thank you in advance. By the way I have an '05 TL.

the disc gets loaded in the trunk on the right side - should have a diagram in your car manual. I think it's just a matter of removing the current disc and replacing it, just as you'd do to put a new cd in the readio

Hi,
 
I'd like to know where you bought the updated Navigation disc for your TL?
Thanks

I got mine by googling acura nav dvd and got this:
 
https://store.alpine-usa.com/Acuradvdsales/naviorder.php
 
Follow the directions.
 
I have a 2000 TL that we bought new and before a long trip, I updated it. Problem was on the trip, it froze up many times, would give directions to turn on small side streets even though the map showed to continue, and didn't have the destination street that was in a development many years old.
After returning, I sent it back but it took the BBB to get a refund. Alpine did not want to allow it. So unless you travel a lot, think twice.

Firmware reload and 4.70 by rv65

Just hit map, menu, and cancel for 5 seconds and that gets you into a diagnostic menu. There is a firmware button that can reload the software. Some nav units could be menu map and cancel.
 
For those with 4.55 to 4.56 software and want to updgrade then 4.70 is coming out soon. This disc will fix all the 4.62 problems. If you are in Hawaii it will add Hawaiian maps. No word yet on when 4.70 is coming out but it might be soon. Some 4.70 discs were spotted on ebay but aren't for sale right now. Hope this helps.

Unless you can talk to the seller and get the disk (if available), your best bet would be to log on to the Acura/Honda link and buy an update disk for $149 from the Alpine Store.

Just choose your model and it will give you the right disc. Not only that you get the latest maps. Might be important. Hope this helps.
 
The 149 one that one of the guys recommend isn't actually his version. Thats the 3.70 version that doesn't work in a 2001 TL. The 2.50 version is the one he needs if you have a 2001 TL. It's on back order but will ship. It's more expensive but it's guaranteed to work. Just wanted to clarify that.

Thanks for the version clarification. Do you know why that one won't work? Also know what the version 4.7 has to offer?
