Hi guys...got a strange one here...bought a car...no dvd for sat nav...found couple of versions on internet, downloaded and burned...all of them are saying, dvd has found a reading error...was thinking that the lens needs to be cleaned so ive fone that(following a diy here, top job who has done it) but unfortunately still the same problem....could it be that the dvd unit is accepting only original discs??? Or is my dvd unit bad?
 
There are two different types of nav versions for the 7th gen.
Pre face lift 2003-2005 is version 2.xx
Face lift lift 2006-2008 is version 3.xx

Ensure the one you burnt is the correct dvd map version for your year of accord.

The dvd players on the 7th gen do have a habit of having reading laser, several reasons for this, laser burn out due to using copied discs and some just die out of the blue.

Might be worth buying a cheap old version of an original disc on ebay or something to confirm it is either working or not. As your copied disc would be an issue perhaps.

Cleaning you have tried, if the disc version is correct and 100% sure the copied version maps disc is working (worth trying on a known good working player of you have this opportunity)
then you will need a new replace the laser i am afraid.
 
Hmmm...thank you for the info....i think i will just source an original dvd with correct version and try that. If it wont work it will be a new dvd unit hunt time :)

Hi,

just look on google, found couple there, didn`t save the link as I was just looking around when i came across it...on the other side you don`t know if the ISO is 100% correct so its a little bit of risk....for peace of mind I will rather buy an original honda DVD.
 
I already have one copy and works perfectly, but i get it with the car.
The price of OEM is an overkill

check google, little bit of a play trying to find the correct words to look up and you can find lots of stuff, obviously I cant post any links etc as this will be violating the forum rules...
 
UPDATE: took a last resort and bought window wipes, wrapped it around the ruler(found this trick here on the forum), stuck it in, moved it around to clean the inside, when i took it out the wipe was quite dirty but nothing what I would consider as a breaking point in cleaning the inside :) how I was wrong, once I put the dvd in, force downloaded it....works a treat!!! :D
 
Hi guys, I have a similar issue...in that I need a sat nav disc for my 2003 2.4 executive...interesting to see that I need a disc v2.xx...looked on ebay but only see versions 3.xx or a disc for the CRV with v2.xx...anyone able to help or point me in the right direction ? ..my car didn't come with a disc so I can't change my heater or audio controls on the fly ! all help very much appreciated....
 
there's a website that sells copies, gets mentioned somewhere but I cannot remember where
 
Cheers...I actually managed to obtain a genuine v2 disk from a breakers on ebay..from a 2004 executive so I'll see if that works
 
Hi guys, need your help please...received the v2 disk from the breakers..all looks fine condition wise...I inserted it into the DVD drive and when I turn the ignition the nav screen comes up, safety warning etc and the OK button...great I thought...pressed that and I have the sat nav screen....now when I start the engine the screen goes blank and no key presses against audio or AC etc brings it back to life...screen completely shut down...help !!
 
had a bit more of a play and dig about the forum (sorry, I should have did a search earlier..minefield of good info ) I see its a potential problem with the lens...however if I do the start the car straight away trick (missing out I and II of the ignition) the satnav works grand when the engine is running...phew...the incorrect clock was driving me mad....as I rarely use the aircon its great to have heating functionality when its running the noo
 
Unfortunately the car is throwing up the VSA light more often now and what with issues with the downpipe the seller has offered to take the car back....leaves me with a 2003 Accord v2.xx sat nav disk...before I send it back to the ebay seller does anyone on the forum need one ? genuine Honda disk in good nick
