Reporting Errors
Occasionally, you may encounter
database errors.
 If the error pertains to freeways and
main “verified” roads shown in black
on the map, then report it either
online at:
http://update.navteq.com/ , or to
Acura Client Services.
 If the error involves a light brown “unverified” road, then do not report
it. These areas have not been verified,
and are provided for reference only
(see Map Overview on page6).
 For errors in points of interest (POI), like a business that has changed their
name, do not report them. Keep in
mind that depending on when the data
was collected, and when your DVD
was purchased, the database can be
out of date. The business may have
not reported the change(s), or not be
in the database at all. Update
Navigation DVDs are available for
purchase, usually in the fall of each
year.  If the error does not involve the
database, such as if the vehicle
position icon does not follow the
road, screen error messages, or other
GPS related errors, see Frequently
Asked Questions on page113, System
Limitations on page97, or
Troubleshooting on page120.

Visiting Your Dealer
We strive to make this manual as
complete as possible and to answer all
questions regarding operation of the
system. Occasionally you may run into a
specific issue that you cannot find in the
book. You may save yourself a trip to
the dealer by first consulting the
following resources:
 The Troubleshooting section (see page120)
 The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section (see page113)
 For detailed questions regarding Audio or other systems that interact
with the navigation system, see the
main vehicle Owner’s manual, or the
Quick Start Guide  Call Acura Client Relations (see
“Acura Automobile Client Services”)
 For database or PO I issues, follow the
guidelines in the “Reporting Errors”
section (see page101)
If your question is still unanswered and
you wish to visit the dealer, please be
prepared to demonstrate the issue to the
service consultant. That way, the service
consultant can document the issue for
the factory to allo w more efficient
troubleshooting. Some issues may at
first seem random, but you may notice a
pattern, like it only occurs when you
enter some specific address, or when
driving on a certain road, or just when
it’s cold. This inform ation is very useful
to the service consu ltant. Be patient, the
tech may be unfamiliar with your
specific issue.
Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD
Acura is continually expanding the
scope of the navigation system.
Upgraded software may be made
available to navigation system owners
periodically, usually in the fall of each
year.
To purchase an updated DVD or a
replacement DVD, call the Acura
Navigation Disc Fulfillment Center at
(888) 549-3798. You can also order on-
line by going to www.acura.com and
selecting in order: Acura Store,
Navigation DVD Updates, Shop
Navigation DVDs, and Order
Navigation DVD.
NOTE:
 DVDs are not available at your dealer. However, the dealer may
order a DVD for you as a courtesy.
There is no program for free DVD
updates.
 The DVD order line staff cannot answer technical questions regarding
navigation operation, coverage, or
POIs.

Changing the DVD
NOTE:
The system’s database is stored on a
removable DVD. The system will not
work without the DVD. Ensure the door
remains closed at all times.
1. Remove the DVD wh ile the ignition
switch is in the Accessory (I) position
or in the ON (II) position.
2. Locate the control unit. It is in the trunk.
3. Push the OPEN button. An error
message will display on the screen.
This is normal. 4. Push the Eject button. The DVD will
automatically come out.
5. Pull the DVD straig ht out. Hold the
DVD by the edges. Fingerprints,
scratches, or other contamination on
the playing surface can make the
DVD unreadable.
To install the Navigation DVD, make
sure the white label is facing up. Slide
the DVD into the slot. The DVD is
automatically pulled into the control
unit. Make sure you close the door. NOTE:
 The system will not play movies or
other video/audio discs.
 Never “sneak preview” a newer white labeled DVD in the system
unless you plan to keep it. The system
cannot automatically “revert back”
to a prior version DVD. If you must
revert to a previous version DVD
after loading a newer version, see
your dealer for assistance.
 If you see the error message “Navigation unit door is open...,”
close the door.
PC Card
A PC card is not supplied. The PC card
slot is for factory use only. This slot
cannot be used to play audio files.

Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
The system provides map coverage for
the following 48 US states, and southern
Canada. The US map coverage consists
of accurately mapped (verified)
metropolitan areas (in the following
list), and a less accurate (unverified)
rural database. Canada coverage
consists of major metropolitan areas,
and major roads connecting the
metropolitan areas within about 100
miles north of the U.S. border. If you
need additional North Canada coverage,
you may purchase the gray Canadian
DVD (see Obtaining a Navigation
Update DVD on page102). See Map
Overview on page6 for a discussion of
map coverage.
The cities and metropolitan areas in the
following list are fully mapped. Only
major streets, roads, and freeways have
been verified outside these areas. If your
route passes through these areas, routing
may be limited in these areas, depending
on your routing choices. See Unverified
Area Routing on page82.
