System Diagnostic Mode: Version

This screen displays the current version information for the navigation system software. In addition, this screen allows the loading of updated software if requested by the factory, or instructed by a Service Bulletin. Software may be loaded from a CD or a PC card.

• Program Flash: Displays the version of the navigation software in memory.
• Program Disc: If displayed, this value represents the version of the navigation software on the navigation DVD.
  NOTE: The last two letters of the Program Flash or DVD fields indicate which DVD is installed in the unit. The letters KA imply that a United States DVD is installed. If the letters are KC, then a Canada DVD is installed. (See coverage discussion below.)
• IPL, APL, DBOOT, and System uCom, are all for factory use.
• Model: For this model, the field should begin with SZT.
• Download: Do not touch, unless instructed by the factory.

Check any official Honda service website for more service information about navigation DVDs.

The navigation system uses a turquoise disc that is for the US market and contains maps for the contiguous 48 US states, and some southern portions of Canada. Customers wanting additional northern coverage in Canada, can purchase a Canada DVD by contacting the DVD fulfillment desk.

An older navigation DVD cannot be used in a audio-navigation unit that is uploaded with newer software. You may see this error if you order a new audio-navigation unit as it may arrive with a higher software version loaded into its memory.

You may also see this error if a customer inserted a newer navigation DVD into their unit. This is why it is never recommended that you show a customer a new navigation DVD by inserting it into their current vehicle. Once the newer software is uploaded, they will see an error message when they reinstall their original navigation DVD.

If you need to Download (install) an older software version into the audio-navigation unit, do this:

1. Install the original navigation DVD from the original navigation unit into the new audio-navigation unit.
2. Select DownLoad in the Version menu. The confirmation screen appears.

   NOTE: This step is necessary to delete all of the unwanted software version and to initialize the navigation ECU memory. Do not use Mem Clear except when doing this procedure.
5. Check that the navigation display shows the map properly.
