Navigation frequently asks for anti-theft code and/or needs GPS initialization

NOTE:
  • This is often caused by a loss of battery power, a low or poor battery condition, or a poor ground.
  • Make sure that the latest navigation software is installed.
  • Check any official Honda service website for more service information about the navigation system.
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
  2. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at audio-navigation unit connector A (24P).

    NO  - Go to step 3.

  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
