Entering Security CodeGPS Initialization
23-93
The system is acquiring its GPS signal.
This could take up to 10 minutes. Engine must be running
 Vehicle must be parked outside, away from buildings
 Do not move the vehicle at this time
***Wait***
Any time the navigation system loses power, you need
to enter the 4-digit anti-theft code on the navigation
system display. The 4-digit code is located on a small
card that was given to the customer. Enter the 4-digit
code, then select Done.
If the navigation system anti-theft code is missing, use
the interactive Network (iN) to look it up. You will need
the serial number for the navigation unit to do this.
You can view the serial number by entering the
diagnostic mode. Select Unit Check from the main
menu, then the Navi ECU diagnostic screen. This gives
you the serial number without removing the navigation
unit.
The iN may display more than one code for a given
serial number. This is because serial numbers are not
unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code.
If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not work
in the navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty
department. If the code 0000 works, replace the
navigation unit.
When replacing the navigation unit, make sure you give
the customer the new anti-theft security code. NOTE: You must park the vehicle outside with a clear
view of the southern sky.
Depending on the length of time the battery was
disconnected, your system may require GPS
initialization. If it does, the following screen appears:
If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds
directly to the Disclaimer screen. During initialization,
the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and
obtains their orbital information. During this procedure
the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view
of the sky.

General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Navigation system is unable acquire a
 Move vehicle to another location
 Turn the ignition switch off
 Disconnect the battery for 30
minutes to clear the GPS receiver’s
memory
 Reconnect the battery and follow
the screen prompts proper GPS signal.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly,
this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
within 10 minutes the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position, the
following screen appears.
After 30 minutes with this screen displayed, turn off the
engine, then restart the vehicle. If the Disclaimer screen
appears, the GPS initialization is complete.
NOTE:
 The average acquiring time is less than 10 minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
 If the system is still unable to acquire a signal, follow the instructions on the screen. If this screen appears
again, go to troubleshooting for the GPS icon is white
or not shown (see page 23-122).
 To bypass the GPS acquire screens, press and hold the Menu, and Zoom out keys at the same time.
Touch the Return button on the screen to exit the
diagnostic mode. This allows you to continue
troubleshooting while in the shop.
This part of the initialization matches the GPS
coordinates with a road on the map screen. To do this
part of the procedure, make sure that the navigation
system displays a map, and drive the vehicle on a
mapped road shown on the map screen. Do not enter a
destination at this time. When the name of the current
road you are driving on, appears at the bottom of the
screen, the entire procedure is complete. Your system
is now ready to use. If the navigation DVD is lost or damaged, or you need a
yearly
updated DVD, you have 2 ways to purchase one.
You can either call 888-291-4675, or order on-line at
www.hondanavi.com.
Both methods require a credit card. The DVD cannot be
ordered through the parts system. The following DVDs
will not work in this navigation system:
 Earlier model navigation DVDs (black, orange, or older vesions with a white label)
 Map software programs manufactured by other companies
 DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
 Copies of an original Navigation DVD
Update DVDs are available for purchase usually in the
fall of each year. They may contain the following:  Enhanced maps and points of interest (POI) coverage
 Fixes for minor software bugs
 Additional features
NOTE:  Map matching must be done any time the DVD is removed or replaced.
 Always order navigation DVDs on an as-needed basis. During a typical model year, each color DVD may
undergo a half a dozen software only version
upgrades to fix minor issues on some or all models
the DVD supports. This is normal. Usually only the
letter at the end of the version number changes,
while the database (maps and POIs) remain
unchanged.
 Never promise your customers future free updates.
There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The on-time DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available, damaged discs are not
warrantable.
