so what do you think is it that could be asked/done? Like I said, it was never mentioned either verbally or in the paperwork that it's not a factory one, and there is no separate amount for navi anywhere, just a gross total for the whole thing... therefore I assume it was charged as for a factory one. And "raising holy he#" is excatly what I am asking about)))) But how and what exactly should be said to those guys? They are professionals after all, if you see what I mean, and there is a paper (signed of course at the buy) stating some like "aftermarket items are non-cancelable"... Looking for a magic spell here i guess)))))

you mentioned the manual for the navi is the factory one? I would think if you actually got an aftermarket one, there will be some differences. I'm sure they can't copy a true Honda navi without copyright issues. I would start by pointing out that the manual doesn't match. I would also look at the purchase contract. The MSRP amount should be there, you can verify online that the MSRP matches the MSRP for a Accord Navi auto. If it does, then you should have recieved a car with the factory Navi. You paid for it, you should get it.

Well, it's getting more interesting)))) MSRP was about 28K which matches the one for Accord Navi, then (I just found that piece of paper) they threw in Navi for 2.3K additionally... Just found that paper, like I said. Stupid of me, no question about it, but again they never mentioned Navi being non-factory... So the only card I have is a non-matching manual. Ok, will see what happens))) Thanks!

#327 of 333 Honda Accord Navigation dead! by aaronsteven

My accord'4 is annoying me as it automatically resets itself after every 5 mins. It's just enough time for me to adjust a setting before I lose control. I've tried to do the diagnostic and was able to for a few minutes to see that everything seemed to check out, at least on "system" etc. But it resets quickly. I am looking for an replacement on car detail equipment.

Before you replace the nav system, check its DVD for scratches, clean it, and try another one in the drive.

In the 08 Accord Sedan EXL-V6 Navi, mine seems to update as soon as it bluetooth connects to the iphone the first time after a time change. My guess is that it pulls the time from the phone.

BEWARE of the navi system. Every single functionally of the touchscreen is booted up by the navi unit. If the navi unit goes bad (like mine did) - you cannot check your trip computer....climate control....radio/cd (you must use the knob - no presets etc). It's awful. A total design flaw and I cannot get anyone at honda to help. They want me to pay thousands of dollars for a new unit. CRAZY. I bought a brand new car (now granted it is old 2003) with certain functionalities that should NOT be connected to the NAVI unit.
 
Anyone have suggestions...please let me know. THANKs.

I have had the same problem and just sent my system to Alpine for repair because my heat won't work, the navigation system doesn't work, everything is connected to the system. It cost me $223 to have a mechanic take it out, $358 for Alpine to (hopefully) fix it and another $223 for reinstallation. Honda dealership wanted to charge me 2K!
 
Just beware, if you go this route send your system via UPS or FEDEX not US Postal Service. Apparently the Alpine office has a receiving office in the back of the building and the UPS and FEDEX guys know this the Postal Service does not.
 
Also, Alpine has a contract with the Postal service to pick up items but they rarely do. I spent 3 hours on the phone yesterday trying to have my unit delivered to Alpine (I sent it last Tuesday express shipping for $76) but no one from Alpine picked up their mail so it sat there for about a week.
 
Given the fact that I need the unit back soon because I have to drive to another state for surgery soon, this has been a very frustrating experience. Luckily for me the supervisor at the local post office agreed to personnally drive it over to Alpine so they could begin work on it.
 
I called today and I was told it takes 24 hours to log something in their system ugggh. I hate this system, its a rip off to begin with but since it controls everything in my car I have to get it fixed!

Thanks for the info! Nice to know. I am so surprised that we don't hear more about this issue. For me - it is a BIG deal because the functionally of the vehicle should NOT depend on a navi unit. Honda should take responsibility for this design flaw and of course they don't.
 
Good luck to you with your surgery!
