Replying to: fatjack (Feb 13, 2009 6:10 am) 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?

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. |

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.

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

Replying to: sr146260211 (Nov 26, 2009 1:06 pm) 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. |

Wow, that is some pricey DVD map. I hope they make it out of gold. I think what you have heard was just hearsay. As to having the dealer show you how to do it... good luck. They are not in the business of showing people how to do things that they charge for. I am sure if you paid them, they would replace the DVD for you, or show you how, but not for free. If you are looking for bootleg copy, seach torrents. I doubt anyone would post a link on here, and if they did, mods would delete it right away. Good luck.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Dec 01, 2009 9:55 am) The DVD over here in Europe goes for 350 Euros. Although I could buy it tax free which would be about 280euros, with the exchange rate that is still over 400 $. I agree that getting the dealer to do anything for free might be only slightly less painful than going to the dentist. Before this, just try it. If you can open your home DVD player, you can open this one. Maybe one day someone will figure out the firmware conflict so that I can use my NAV system again but now when I'm driving in The Netherlands, it shows me in California as I have to keep my US disc in it to set the clock for daylight savings, what a pain. Needless to say, I'm becoming a slightly disgruntled customer which is sad because it is such a fine vehicle (except the huge turning radius).
