  5. Disconnect the navigation unit connectors (C).
  6. Install the unit in the reverse order of removal.
  7. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then reinstall the customer's original navigation DVD, verifying that the DVD is free of scratches or smudges.
  8. Check any official Honda service website for more service information about patches for the navigation system. Apply any prescribed patches to the new navigation unit.
    NOTE: Simply transferring the navigation DVD from the original navigation unit to the new navigation unit does not assure the correct software for the vehicle will be loaded into the new navigation unit. Doing the navigation DVD transfer without doing software patches may cause the new navigation unit to appear to be malfunctioning.
    The latest navigation software does not come loaded in a new navigation unit. If you load the original navigation DVD into the new navigation unit and an error message stating that the DVD is outdated appears on screen, its means that there is a newer DVD available. When the navigation unit was built, the manufacturer installed a higher version number in the units memory. There are two methods to resolve the issue
    • Have the customer purchase a new navigation DVD, see DVD-ROM Replacement .
    • Download the software from the original navigation DVD. See the downloading procedure under the Version, see VERSION .
  9. Enter the new navigation anti-theft code.
  10. Park the vehicle outside, and do the GPS initialization (see GPS INITIALIZATION  ).
  11. Give the new navigation anti-theft code to the customer.
