#82 of 95 failure to route by johnmchugh Apr 24, 2009 (5:29 am)
I just bought a 2008 CR-V with the factory navigation system. My wife was tired of having to use the laptop/gps in the car when we traveled. We live at the end of a long dirt road. While the system can (almost) locate our house, it refuses to route on "unverified" roads - including most of the back roads in our area. It also refuses to route on many of the streets in the nearest town of about 50,000. This greatly reduces the utility of the system since any idiot can find interstate exits. I want to use the system for exploring the countryside. I think that the failure of the system to provide even a "get me out of here" routing capability off the major highways should be considered a safety issue. If anyone has a modification to the software that would allow it to route on unverified roads, I would like to have it. I find it ironic that mapping software for vehicles that are nominally intended for use off the major highways should fail completely when the vehicle is used that way.

Replying to: fatjack (Feb 13, 2009 6:10 am) fatjack, A guy on the OdyClub forum was considering replacing his failing DVD drive with a Compact Flash/IDE adapter and CF memory. The adapters are on newegg for under $20. If this is possible, I wonder if you could load your "European" disc image onto the CF card, and avoid the out of region error?

#85 of 95 Clock adjustment by jhichi Aug 20, 2009 (3:28 am)
Can anyone help.   I imported my CRV 2007 + Nav. from the state. It came without a DVD for the navigation, anyway My first concern is how to adjust the clock, it keep on asking for the DVD.   My second concern is how to get a Navigation DVD for the Middle east.

Replying to: swingwing (May 31, 2009 6:46 am) I still have not had any success, had some near success but in the end did not work and burned a lot of dual layer disks. So my latest idea - I read on some sites about replacing the start-up nag screen. I have not studied it but looked and it seemed like there was a replace X file with File on disk. So if we know the command to replace a file, perhaps we can replace the USA .ARO files then find out how to add a file. Would love to just pay someone to get the damn thing working.   For the person who wants to reset the clock - remove battery cables - then reattache - you will need the Nav and stereo security codes Replies to this message: natoshoe (Oct 29, 2009 11:41 pm)

#88 of 95 replacing the navi DVD and the problem in the TSB by terryp1 Nov 26, 2009 (10:23 am)
I'd like ot update the dvd in my '07 CR-V. I've read elsewhere that there is a problem. Here's the TSB on that: http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A08-051.PDF I got a letter that I hope is from Honda, and not from some other company pretending to be, offering the new DVD for $185, shipping included. But I've read elsewhere that even if I very carefully remove the old DVD, the unit might scratch it and ruin it. I assume the unit would do the same to the new DVD. I'm thinking of stopping by the dealer and asking them about this removal/reinstallation problem and asking them, just to show me and for practice, how to remove and replace the DVD. Thus any scratching would be done by them. Oh, and if Santa's reading, I'd like to know if the DVDs can be copied, and whether they're somehow made unique to each vehicle.

Replying to: terryp1 (Nov 26, 2009 10:23 am) Just had to weigh in on this talk if no one minds......   Had two Honda's with Nav systems, but this time around, I opted out of purchasing my new 2010 CR-V with one that cost $2,000 grand more, and got a 7 inch portable Magellan for $249.00 now on sale for $199.00 (black friday) at Amazan.com. Cost for a map update is $49.00 each time, not the higher Honda price. Toyota is even higher for their map dvd's.   Learned my lesson not to fork over so much money and now have a GPS that goes with me....   Good luck with your question terryp1 Replies to this message: natoshoe (Nov 27, 2009 9:37 am)

Replying to: sr146260211 (Nov 26, 2009 1:06 pm) Terryp,   Rest assured the DVD is easy to remove, I've done it multiple times trying to get a nav disc from Europe to work but there is a firmware comflict so I'm still navless in The Netherlands. Just open the screen console, open the little plastic door over the navDVD and eject it. I can't see the disc being in any more danger than a regular dvd/cd in any home player.   Although the little door that covers the navDVD player will shut on it's own when you close the screen console, close it manually first. This will prevent the little plastic flap from getting caught on the screen console and popping off. Still no worries as mine popped back on after it caught one time when I forgot to close it.
