Operation in Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
Navigation System operation for
vehicles delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navi Vehicles delivered to Hawaii are
equipped with XM hardware, but XM
broadcasting is not available; therefore
sections of the manual that mention XM
audio, traffic displays, and AcuraLink
features, do not apply. Vehicles
originally delivered to the US mainland,
and shipped to Hawaii also have XM, but
will not function because the XM
satellites (aimed toward the US
mainland) are too far away to obtain
reception.
