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.

Something is interfering with the system’s ability to

* Check GPS antenna cable connection.
* Restart the engine and repeat the GPS acquire view of the sky.

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.
