I bought a used 06 TSX last month and the address book was locked with a PIN. I didn't notice until after I left the dealer (out of state). Do I have to take it to a dealer to have the PIN reset or address book reset, or is there some way to do it myself?

Thanks for any help!

I'm totally confused. Address book?

I think he means the contact list of phone numbers that you can store in the car's memory.

Well if that's the case then you need to go through the pairing process with you phone. During that process you'll be asked to set up a specific code for your phone. All the necessary steps are in the manual.

Navigation system address book. Not the phone book for bluetooth.

Apparently the previous owner put a pin number on the address book. You will need the dealer to reset it.

Isn't there a way to reset the system from diagnostic mode? Would this erase the pin? It should erase the contents of the address book, too, so you don't have to delete them one by one.

I didn't know that the navi has a pin setup. My '07 bought preowned did not ask for the pin when I add addy to the memory.

Yes it does. It will not ask unless YOU set it up.

This is the kind of solution I'm looking for. There is an second, unlocked, address book that I put a few entries into, but I definitely don't mind re-entering those few just so I don't have an extra unaccessible address book.. I looked through the diagnostic menu, but nothing jumped out at me that would do this.

Bearcat posted this in the TL forum when I asked about clearing the address book and removing the splash screen hack:

"Don't you just put you original/OEM Navi disk in --> do the Map/Menu/Cancel routine --> Find the Navi "Upload" or "Update" button and reload from the original?"

Holding Map/Menu/Cancel together for a few seconds puts the system into diagnostic mode. I'm not sure exactly where the upload button is (I aven't done this yet) but what it will do is basically reboot the system.

Make sure you have your radio & NAVI anti-theft codes before doing this in case you need to enter them afterwards.

Search the TL forum. There's more stuff there about NAVI hacks, patches, and easter eggs.

I just noticed you're in Raleigh. I'm in N Ral. Do you ever go to any of teh local Honda/Acura meets?

Thanks! This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

Sorry, never been out to a meet before.

Here's the link on resetting the Navi on the TL I asked another member. I don't know if this will work w/ a TSX.
