System Initialization
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the navigation system loses power (like the battery was disconnected), the navigation system requires initialization. Once completed, your system is ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
- Press and hold the POWER knob for at least 2 seconds. The audio-navigation unit or audio unit automatically checks the VIN and exits the anti-theft mode. Or you can enter the 5-digit anti-theft code.
- GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power).
- Map matching aligns the GPS to a location on the map.
