SusanA Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hello all I've got a 2005 Honda Accord Automatic 2.4 saloon. The display consul is not working. The disc can be inserted but it just says ' Disc not reading' or something like that. I can only get the A/C screen to work. Any suggestions, please?

jimbojim Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Hi, try a "disc cleaner" inserted into unit, its possible the laser reader is dirty - run it a few times then put nav disc back in and try again AND/OR 1/ run the engine and don`t turn off ! 2/ insert nav disc 3/ press MENU + ZOOM (down arrow) together and hold for a few seconds till you get "disc error" on diplay 4/ on screen display select SYSTEM LINK 5/ select NEXT (opens CAR STATUS page) 6/ press NEXT (opens YAW RATE page) 7/ press NEXT (opens DIAGNOSIS MENU page) 8/ select UNIT CHECK 9/ select FORCE DOWNLOAD 10/ screen goes blank 11/ message appears - Please Wait. Now downloading software, then "please do not switch off engine" 12/ the progress bar will appear ( Green Bar) 13/ after a while the Honda Main Navigation Screen should re-appear 14/ message appears - The System Provides Route Information .... etc 15/ press OK 16/ on completion your download will operate and map, you may have to drive your car around for a short while, this allows the unit to "pick up" signal. That`s it - if this does not work, the laser unit (eye) could be faulty ! This worked on my car and occasionally I have to re-run the above (I think condensation can cause this also) I know it sounds a little long winded but like I said, it worked on my car - I also bought a version 2011 update disc, that is the latest disc that Honda made. Hope this helps, let me know how you go on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I had similar problem just the one time, it took ages to "pick up signal" all I can say is be patient - try driving around away from a built up area, at least you got this far and it is recognising the disc - so looking promising ! If it repeatedly shows the same screen - try disconnecting the battery for an hour or so, maybe overnight, pain in the bum I know but sometimes it pays to persevere. After that I don`t know to be honest. Good luck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using a genuine DVD or is it a copied one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the sat nav working OK before your problem ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenhh Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I tried this, all I get is disc read error, I dont get system link displayed so I imagine because of the disc read error it just gives up. I have just ordered another disc , hopefully that will sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
