phil bannister Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I am owner of a 2015 honda crv.....the infotainment system has stopped working (just get the Honda brand logo and a small spinning wheel - looks like its searching for something). I have taken it into the Honda dealer (Listers Northampton) and they say nothing can be done other than replacing the unit, and are quoting me £3,500 for this. Has anyone come across this before or am I being taken for ride?! Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojim Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 hi phil more details please, does your system have sat-nav if so does it work off dvd rom disc ? or is it just radio/cd unit ? I have Accord so am not familier with the crv but others on here might be able to help given a little more info. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bannister Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hi Jim It has sat-nav but am not aware of any dvd rom disc? Dealer ran diagnostics, reset factory settings and tried disconnecting battery for half an hour.....no other clues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojim Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hi Phil, I had problem with my mk v11 Accord sat-nav, but mine is run from a dvd rom disc - that`s why I asked ! Mine was a simple fix - forced download - £3500 is a sick joke ! I replaced my complete centre display which is 6 disc cd and radio head unit plus all the air con controls and much more - the complete centre head unit, bought off eBay used for around £45 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and swapped it myself - not a big job to replace it. hate to think what Honda would charge !! Is it the complete system that has stopped working ? radio,cd, aux socket etc., ?? If you could give a more detailed account of what happened I am sure someone will help, I am not familiar with the crv system Lets hope someone on here has more info on the crv - Good luck Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojim Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Just had a quick look on eBay item number 164740124266 £175 tested with warranty if it is the same unit as yours ? Worth a look ? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bannister Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Thanks, if i source a unit elsewhere, does anyone know if it needs to be coded to my specific car? Honda helpfully say it MAY have to be but they werent 100% sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojim Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hi Phil, my Accord did not have or need a code - previous cars I have owned did - I don`t know if your crv will need one or not ! Check with your handbook if you have one - or you could take all the details from the unit itself but you would need to remove it to do that - Contact Honda head office with your vin number Honda SHOULD know from that ! or contact a car stereo fitting company to ask their advice. If you source a unit elsewhere, if its a company they should know if you do or not, sorry I can`t help any more than that. Good luck Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
