Precaution on Client Sneak Previews

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Your client might request a look (or sneak preview) at features in the latest navigation software; You should never preview a navigation DVD in a client's vehicle. Inserting a new DVD installs the latest software from the DVD into the memory of the client's navigation system. When the original DVD is reinstalled, the newer software remains in memory and is often incompatible with the client's original DVD Map and POI database.

If your client wishes to see the latest navigation coverage or software features, demonstrate it on an in-stock vehicle that already has the latest DVD version.

If, by chance, a newer version is located accidentally, either by the dealer or the client, the only remedy is to enter the navigation diagnostic mode's Version screen and do a forced download. Refer to the iN for applicable patches that may need reinstalling.
