a reminder, the RDX was programmed to think today was daylight savings. As we all know, it is not until Nov. 4th this year. Just an FYI if you think your RDX is going crazy.

 

This was fixed in the latest (white label) navi DVD release (version 4.62).

New Features
One way streets (indicated with arrows on the 1/20 mile scale - turn on in Icon Options - "Other icons")

Loss of male voice prompts (voice prompts revert to female - regardless of previous setup setting)

Additional brand icons for restaurants, motels and other POIs

Updated maps and POIs

Auto Daylight Savings Time switching per new 2007 (March/November) schedule

 

yea i still have the 07 disc

 

I am so glad we don't play the silly 'daylight savings time' game here in God's country....

 

ya my rdx changed the time, confused the heck out of us as we had to pick up a family member at the airport lol and we rush to get into the car and its like an hour behind.

Did people with the new navi disc have this problem? Its a vehicle programmed problem ?

 

How do you get the upgrade?

Does the dealer do it during service or do you have to pay?

 

Daylight Savings was covered back in April:

you pay. $180 if i'm not mistaken.

 

I read that Honda's and Acura's don't have the new Daylight Savings Time info, so the clocks change early. I guess there will be an update eventually? I was curious if maybe the 08's were fixed, because I just noticed that my clock changed already.

 

08 are fixed and give you the option of the 2 different DST schedules.

If you go into your set up screen, you can turn off the auto daylight saving adjustment.

 

there's a link, and an explanation of the DS fix and the DVD upgrade at the top of this thread.

 

Mine didnt change

 

If you have a RDX Tech, the new nav DVD will fix the problem. George Bush changed the end of daylight savings time by 1 week and every computer in the country needs patching.

 

Mine was on auto and changed this past weekend.

 

The new disk in the 2008 Nav White label has the program fix. If you don't want to buy the new disk then go into your set up and turn off DST. Or you will have one week in the fall that the time is off by one hour.

 

Mine neither. Time stayed the same. I bought my '07 back in July.

 

Mine did not change either I bought my 07 Tech in april.

 

you guys might have AUTO DST setting turned off or you have the updated navigation dvd

 

mau108 is correct. For those with the '07's, you probably have AUTO DST turned off. I know I turned mine off last March.

 

ahh, that could be it...I'll check my RDX after work.

 

Here is the IN mesage about the DST time change:


IN message:



Navi clock changed by one hour before the Daylight Savings Time change occurred



Using the new March-November schedule as mandated by the US government Daylight Savings Time (DST) ends on Saturday, November 3. However, some customers may complain that their navi clock changed on October 27. This is because their navi software is still using the old DST schedule.



If a customer complains that the navi clock is off by one hour, have them go to the Setup “Clock Adjustment” screen and do the following:



· If the clock adjustment screen has a setting called “Daylight Saving,” turn it off

· Adjust the clock back by one hour if necessary



Patch discs will be available soon to correct the DST schedule in the navi software. This fix will apply to customers with navigation systems using either the white or turquoise DVD.

 

Are they saying the patch is free? Or will they charge $200 for it?

 

either way kinda stupid to put it out after dst, i realize there is another one in april(i think now) but would have been nice to have it when they knew there was a problem

 

Hey mau108 - I totally forgot to check the DST setting but the clock on my RDX adjusted for the time automatically yesterday. Maybe you can ask Acura for a free DVD upgrade since we got our cars around the same time?

 

My dealer just told me I'm supposed to get an updated disk in the mail to address this. Anyone else hear this?

 

Would have been nice to get it before the switch happened. I haven't heard this anywhere, but I'll keep an eye on my mail for it just in case! I wouldn't think that Acura would handle it that way as opposed to just fixing it themselves when you bring it in for service. I would think that you would have to go into diagnostic mode and reload the nav software which isn't something they would want you to do on your own.

 

I will ask again to make sure.

 

Remember that Acura did not make the DST change. GW did that. And it takes a little time to have software ready for production. I have had several customers say they have gotten a new NAV disk. You can change it yourself our swing by service and they will do it for you. You simply eject the old disk and insert the new one just like a cd in the nav head unit. The head unit is under the center console.

If you look at the carpeted area of the center console from the PASENGER SIDE you will see the outline of the panel. Insert your key in the bottom center of the panel and pop it open. Push the open button then the eject button, remove the old disk, insert the new disk. Close door. Reinstall the carpeted panel top side first!!! If this is too technical for anyone the dealer is happy to do it for you right on the service drive. You can be in and out in five minutes!!

These instruction are my own not the official directions.

 

yes but the dealer is not going to give you a new nav disk, what if you have an older version?

 

They stated that they received it in the mail

 

We have an 07 RDX and never received an updated DVD. Is there someone to call?

 

+1

 

Our local dealer said we were not entitled to the new one for free, we had to buy it. I ordered it, it should arrive this week. 4.62 version.

 

4.62 corrects it.
