Hello Everyone,


I have a bit of a conundrum which is driving me insane.

I have a 2004 Acura TL with Navigation and Auto Trans and the following happened today.

5:40Pm: got off work and proceeded to my car, hop in, turn key to start "Click" "click" click"

ok.....figured it might be the batter disconnected and made sure the terminals were ok.

hopped back in and 2 clicks later the car starts and asks for codes which I give it and the radio functions fine and then the navi screen updates it software and proceeds to pull shenanigans in the following form.

When the car is in accessory mode (2nd key turn) Navi functions, boots completely and opens to the nav screen where my current LOC is.

when I turn the car to start it the navi screen and radio info screen both flash and then the radio comes back on but the navi is in a constant loop of the globe, warning, then off then it all starts again....this continues no matter what I do or try.


anyone experience this before and have any helpful info the constant beeping is driving me crazy and the fact its flashing is a distraction.

I'm in the same boat my friend but mine constantly replays the acura globe screen over and over. Its bright as hell at night time and is very annoying.

It seems everyone else is getting the read disc error display but I have not. I've tried to clean the lens in the disc drive but no go. To be honest I would start out cleaning the lens LINK: https://acurazine.com/forums/problem...errors-873489/

Although it doesn't seem that your having the read disc error either. Randomly mine will start working for about 3mins, then it'll freeze and go back to replaying the acura globe screen. I think the only option after this is sending it in for repairs, everywhere I've looked online they are charging the same amount.

I wonder if one of the plugs in the back of the disc drive cuts off the screen only?
