NOTE:
  • Check the vehicle battery condition first (see BATTERY TEST ).
  • Check the connectors for poor connections or loose terminals.
  • This is often caused by a loss of battery power, a low or poor battery condition, or a poor ground.
  • Make sure that the correct navigation DVD color and version are installed.
  • Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
