Sorry, I bet this is a really well known problem and has been asked many times but I couldn't find a thread for it.
I've had my Accord (2005 Diesel Exec Est.) for 2 days now. I bought it from a very small independent dealer (nice bloke working out of his home) anyway during the hand-over he went through a few of the operations and handed me a poly pocket of things, including the Sat-Nav DVD.
I drove away a happy man, thinking of how nice it will be to drive to Loire with my family in June in my 'new' car and how quiet it was compared to my old Passat.
Anyway, I found the little hatch where the DVD drive is tucked away (after ***uring my son it wouldn't play his Ben10 DVD) and slid in the Nav disc. The screen fired up a shot saying "Honda Navigation" then a longish script about how not to drive like an idiot etc. Reading some other threads I think I'm meant to agree to this, but I don't see any 'ok' button on the screen and pressing he joystick thing down does nothing. I left it for a while and entertained myself setting up the radio / heating etc.
I pressed the 'info' button after a while to try to access MPG etc and it goes back to the 'not driving like an idiot' scrip with a grey box over saying something like "DVD not readable".
I ***ume it's broken in some fashion, I've googled the problem and read about people sliding rulers wrapped with baby wipes into the drive to try to clean it, but that seems a bit like it might do more damage than good to me.
Is this a common fault with a common solution?
