NAV Display Distortion ??

Hi all,

I picked up my 06 RRP / Camel yesterday and I'm psyched! I kept going out to the car until late last night and just standing there looking at it. Neighbors must think I'm nuts. Anyway, I found my first, "Is this supposed to be this way?" question last night and it has to do with the nav display. Once the OK is pressed and the map comes up there is a band of what looks like a fine cross-hatch pattern thats semi-translucent across the bottom of the screen. It's about an inch wide. I switch to the audio, then back to the map and it's still there. If I bump the joystick it disappears altogether and doesn't return. Is this normal? I can't imagine it is and was wondering if anyone can suggest a possible remedy. ( Hopefully without going back to the dealer ).

Thanx.

It is intentional. It is designed to give contrast to the name of the streed displayed at the bottom of the screen. My accord had it and so does my 06 TL

Mine does the same thing. It doesn't display a street name until I pull out of the garage. At that point my street name pops up across the contrasted "dotted" area on the bottom of the nav screen. I guess the nav system is blocked by my garage ceiling and roof. Anyway, thats how mine works.

Thanks, I've got this permanent grin that wont seem to go away. Hey, how about "Permagrin"?
I haven't gotten around to taking any photos yet but when I do I'll post a few here. I'm still going through the manual(s). The amount of literature that came with this thing is amazing. I'm one of those people that read everything! Even did it with the lawn mower.
