I am in need of a navi system circuit board (power controller) There was a mishap with a fuse while a technician was fixing something else and well...let just say smoke coming out of it was not a good sign. Do you think I get can this part? If so where? It was made by Mitsubishi Electronics. If not how can I replace the whole system ?

If not how can I replace the whole system ? the Technician should have been bonded and insured to cover such loss. Or, if he was a smart one, he would have disconnected the negative terminal at the battery. I am sure Honda sells the unit by it self, the cost is around $3000.

Shortly I will be a new owner of a 2007 CR-V EX-L w/Nav. I would like to purchase and setup the chip ahead of time, but nowhere does it state which chip it is, SD etc.

Just bought an 07 EX-L with Nav. I bought a Sandisk Compact Flash PC Card Adapter and a 4GB Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash Card. The adapter can be found for about $15 at Best Buy, and I found the 4GB at Adorama Camera online for $75. There is a manufacturer's rebate for $30 good through May 31st, which brings it down to $45. I was able to load about 980 songs on the card. 4GB is perfect for the 999 file limit that Honda imposes. I'm still trying to tweak how to best arrange the songs on the card in the folder. The great thing is that it will display the Artist, Title and Album name on the screen. That's just awesome!! But I can tell you this. The sound quality is awesome!! It totally blows away using your iPod through the mp3 aux jack. This is pure uncompromised sound coming directly from your mp3 file to the stereo. For about $60, I essentially have a 4GB iPod equivilent loaded into my CRV. Finally, the navigation of searching through the 999 files is great. There is a keyword search where you can type in a partial keyword and it will find all songs that match that keyword. Type in "MAD" and it will retrieve all your Madonna songs for example. Then, you can just select which song you want to listen to and it starts playing immediately. Once the Flash Card loads for the first time and reads the file structure, access to any and all the songs is instantaneous. No lag switching between songs. If you love your music and can live with a 999 file limit, then the PC Card is your best solution to getting the best quality music and functionality out of the system. Leave your iPod at home!! So, the initial question posted in this forum asked if it's worth $2K for Nav. Given that Honda gives you an upgraded 270Watt system with 7 speakers and subwoofer, a backup camera, and a PC Card that can essentially double as an interal 4GB iPOD Nano, then I say emphatically YES, it is worth spending the extra $2K, because this is best bang for your buck for a nav system your going to get. Good luck to everyone thinking about an EX-L with Nav.

After having the vehicle for a week and playing with my PC Card filled with 900+ songs on it, I am running into a few problems with the "random" feature, particularly when in "Artist Mode". Everytime I turn off the random button (Preset #2) and turn it back on, it will always start with the same track number (#37) and then when I skip to the next "Random" song, the second, third, fourth, and even fifth songs are always in the exact same order!! It's like random really isn't all that random after all. Also, I'm finding that it's always playing many of the same songs over and over again. I have over 900 songs on the card, and while in random mode, there have been some songs that I've heard 4 or 5 times, sometimes even after just having played a few songs earlier. Therefore, I question their software algorithms for creating a true "random" session. Even after a week, it's easy to determine that the functionality is flawed. I'm also not suspecting that the Honda service technicians are even going to be trained to understand my problem or even care about my concerns. They'll probably just scratch their heads and not understand what I'm saying. Anyways, just be on the lookout for issues like this when using your PC Card and report back if you find similar problems. |

This is a brand new 07 CRV, supposedly with the latest nav software. However, in our recent trip to Williamsburg, it failed to find several hotels, restaurants, and department stores that have been there for more than 2-3 years. Same thing closer to home where a shopping center has been there for almost 3 years and not a single store or restaurant is on the nav system. Very disappointed. I have a 2 year old Garmin 2620 that has all this information and that software is over 2 years old. I can tell already that the Honda software has very few Points of Interest in their database, and hasn't been updated in quite some time. This software appears to be far inferior to the offerings of someone like Garmin. |

Replying to: rrbhokies (May 22, 2007 11:01 am) I'm not as familiar with it as many others. Can I download from i-tunes to the flash card or will it prevent me from doing that with purchased music? Your detailed explanation of where to buy and how to do it was helpful so I thought I would ask about this. Thanks.
