You start the car, the Acura blue navi/world screen is on then the screen very quickly (i.e. .5 seconds) changes to the enter code then it goes black with no way to enter the code, do a voice command... etc. It was working a few weeks ago. The navi disc is in the back.

Any ideas..?

 

Since it's not initializing, it sounds like it needs to be rebooted.

Try ejecting the nav DVD disc, then with the key "on", put it back in and let it go through its startup routine.

If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 5 minutes, then reconnect.

If neither of those works, my guess is the drive is bad. (But of course, I'm no Tech. )

obviously if its under warranty, take it to the dealer...if not, remove the disc and clean it. If it still doesn't work go to the diagnostic screen and see what is going on. There is a post by "Acura2007RL" that tells you how to enter the diagnostics. If you have problems with the DVD player, you can relatively easily remove it and send it to Alpine for a flat rate repair.

I have done this for my Ebay Nav unit that I bought and installed
