Muting Logic
LCD Unit LimitationsSymptom Duplication
23-267
The accuracy of the GPS is reduced during these
instances:
 Metallic window tinting above the GPS antenna.
 When only three or less satellite signals are received (Four satellite signals are required for accurate
positioning).
 When driving near high tension power lines.
 When the satellite control centers are experiencing problems.
Whenever the navigation system is giving guidance,
the front speakers are muted. When the voice control
system is being used, all of the speakers are muted. If
the HandsFreeLink is in use, the voice control system is
unavailable and a message appears onscreen.
NOTE: The screen is not touch sensitive. Use the
interface dial and buttons to select items on the screen.  In cold temperatures, the display may stay dark for the first 2 or 3 minutes until it warms up.
 When the display is too hot because of direct summer sunlight, it will remain dark until the temperature
drops (you may see an error message displayed
stating this fact).
 When the humidity is high and the interior temperature is low, the display may appear cloudy.
The display will clear up after some use.
 Fingerprints on the screen may be noticeable. Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. You may use a
mild cleaner intended for eye glasses or computer
screens. To avoid scratching the panel, do not rub too
hard or use abrasive cleaners or shop towels.  When the symptom can be duplicated, verify that it is
not a characteristic of the system. Review the
navigation system manual and compare it to a
known-good vehicle (with the same software and
database), under the same conditions. If the
symptom is not the same as the known-good vehicle,
follow the self-diagnostic procedures and the
appropriate troubleshooting procedures.
 When the symptom does not reappear or only reappears intermittently, ask the client about the
conditions when the symptom occurred.
– Always ask the client to demonstrate the problem.
– Trytoestablishpossibleusererrorora misunderstanding of the system.
– Try to establish if outside interference may have been the cause.
– Try to duplicate the symptom under the same conditions the client experienced.
– Vibration, temperature extremes, and moisture (dew, humidity) are factors that are difficult to
duplicate.
– Inspect the vehicle for after-market electronic devices (vehicle locators, amps, radar detectors,
etc.) that may be hidden.
When troubleshooting navigation system problems,
ensure that the known-good vehicle is the same
software version year and model as the vehicle being
serviced. Mixing incompatible navigation DVDs or
other system components can delay the
troubleshooting process by creating symptoms or
issues causing effects unrelated to the original problem.

the vehicle, see your dealer.
 If you need to replace the navigation unit, you can
back-up the navigation data and transfer it to a new
navigation unit. See Save users memory (see page
23-310).
 When the battery is disconnected, the internal GPS clock resets to 0:00. The clock resets to the correct
time after the system finishes GPS initialization.
 Before disconnecting the battery, make sure you have the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system, and write down the audio presets.
Also obtain any PGM-FI or transmission DTCs and
freeze frame date (which are lost when the ECM/PCM
loses power).
 After reconnecting the battery, you have to wait to get the initial signal from the satellite. It will take from 10
to 45 minutes.
 Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.
 Before returning the vehicle to the client, enter the anti-theft codes for the audio system and the
navigation system.
If the navigation system loses power (like the battery
was disconnected), the navigation system requires
initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to
use.
This initialization requires the following:  Entering the 4-digit anti-theft security code to unlock the system
 GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power)
 Map matching to align the GPS to a location on the map Any time the navigation system loses power, you need
to enter the 4-digit anti-theft code on the navigation
system display. This 4-digit code is located on a small
code 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 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 ECU info diagnostic screen. This allows
you to get 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 or audio unit, make
sure you give the client 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:

procedure. If the problem persists, see your dealer.
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.
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.
It this screen appears, turn off the engine, then restart
the vehicle and move it to a different location. 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 23-341).
 Skip to a CSF screen by pushing the MENU and INFO buttons at the same time and can move to an System
Links screen.
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 is 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 two ways to purchase
one. You can either call 888-549-3798, or order on-line
at www.acura.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, light blue label and the older versions with a white label)
 Map software programs manufactured by other companies
 DVD movies, or DVDs containing audio recordings
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 customer future free updates.
There are no free programs for updating the
navigation DVD. Update DVDs are generally available
for purchase each fall. The online DVD order site
provides information when an update for a particular
color DVD is available.
 Damaged discs are not covered by warranty unless they have been damaged by the navigation system.

DVD Handling and CleaningEarliest DVD Version Application for Each
Model
23-270 Navigation System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
To avoid damaging or leaving fingerprints on the DVD,
always handle it by the edges and place it in a jewel
case whenever it is outside the navigation unit. Deep
scratches or fingerprints on the back of the DVD can
cause intermittent rebooting or other system errors.
Smudges and fingerprints can be carefully removed
using a mild cleaner and tissues designed to clean
eyeglasses. To clean a DVD, use a clean soft cloth. Very
gently wipe across the DVD from the center to the
outside edge, never in a circular motion.
Do not place stabilizer rings or labels on the DVD. Each navigation system DVD contains a map/POI (point
of interest) database and the navigation system
software for each model that it supports. Inserting an
older DVD can cause problems since it lacks the
software to provide the specific features needed for that
model. Unfortunately, the navigation software does not
detect or warn you that the version is outdated, and it
may even appear to operate.
NOTE: Replacing a DVD just because the version
number is higher is not always warranted. A higher
software version does not necessarily mean it contains
newer software for your model. The DVD contains
software for all models that use the same color DVD,
and a revised number may or may not have software
fixes or upgrades for the model in question.
Typical warning symptoms that an outdated DVD is
being used include:
 The Acura model navigation screen may display a Honda logo while booting up.
 A newly introduced model feature or current accessory may not display properly, and Extension
will display instead.
NOTE: Extension may be displayed when using
Music Link, but should never be displayed when XM
is selected.
 The current street (the street being driven on) does not appear properly at the bottom of the map screen
display when the vehicle is driven on a main road.
NOTE: If necessary, compare the operation to the
navigation system of the same model and year
vehicle that has a current DVD.

How to Identify Navigation DVD Versions,
and How to Inspect A DVD for Damage
23-271
To determine the navigation version on a particular
model, start the engine, then locate the navigation unit.
Open the DVD door, and push the eject button to eject
the DVD. Hold the DVD by the edges, and check for
these items: Check any official Acura service website for more service information about the navigation DVDs.
 The DVD label color.
 Read the DVD version on the label, and note it on the repair order. The version number is near the bottom
of the label text (for example, ver: 4.23A). You will
need this version number:
– To verify that the DVD version is appropriate for the vehicle. Check any official Honda service website
for more service information.
– Any time you call Tech Line regarding a navigation system issue.
– To answer client inquires concerning update or coverage issue.
NOTE: Client’s may obtain DVDs from sources
outside the normal ordering process. If you
determine this is the case, recommend that your
customer purchase the appropriate DVD from the
Acura Disc Fulfillment Center (see ORDERING A
DVD).
– Check the underside of the DVD for signs of mishandling. Deep scratches, or random scratches,
light swirl marks, or fingerprints can cause random
lock-ups, reboots, erratic voice response, erratic
positioning errors, and DVD read or format errors.
NOTE: A damaged DVD is not covered under
warranty unless the disc is damaged by the
navigation unit. Damage by the navigation unit
typically appears as circular scratches caused by
something rubbing against the DVD as it spins. The
damage may appear as arcs or complete circles on
the DVD reading surface.
– Verify that the underside of the DVD is silver, and not a copy with a blue color. Copies will not work
properly and can cause other symptoms that mimic
hardware problems.  Incorrectly colored DVDs being put into navigation
vehicles. This causes the system to either display
error messages, or causes system malfunctions that
mimic a hardware problem. This results in the client
leaving with a malfunctioning navigation system.
 The DVD version provided to the client is out-of date or incompatible with a particular model. This
inconveniences your client by delaying the repair, or
by causing additional (and unnecessary) returns to
your dealership.
 The client experiences bugs or other issues that have already been resolved in later versions currently
available at the fulfillment desk.
If the DVD is defective, or has any of the issues
mentioned above, return the vehicle to your client and
recommend that they order the proper DVD from the
Acura Disc Fulfillment Center.
NOTE: Navigation DVDs do not come with replacement
navigation units. If you are replacing a navigation unit
because it is defective (following appropriate service
manual troubleshooting), and the DVD does not eject,
order a DVD. See Obtaining a navigation DVD.
