Hello,

3Gen TL (2005) Acura TL /Navi Issues

When the car is started Navi system goes through several onscreen prompts such as:

1.) Please wait, Now downloading software
2.) Please do not shut off engine
3.) Enter Code, I enter the code
4.) **Wait** System is updating screen comes up
5.) After a couple minutes of waiting navigation is working

I checked the Navi Dvd it is currently running on v. 3.40, and looks to be in good condition. Bluetooth works for the cell phone, when I try to do use the push talk command option the mid speaker comes up w/ static.

Spoke w/ the dealership they stated that they would have to run a diagnostic test which would run about $120.00. I declined it and asked if the customer service rep could ask if one of the technicians saw this problem before, she stated that he came back stating it is most likely a memory issue w/ the navi system and would either need to be replaced ($3,400.00) or sent out for repair at which acura does not do. Car is out of warranty.

If anyone can, please provide some feedback..

Thank you.

 

the navi unit has an internal malfuction and will need to be replaced or sent out.

 

Thanks for the reply, Does anyone know where the unit can be sent out to and approx how much for repair?

Thanks

 

Contact Alpine, USA. They have a flat rate fee or something similar if I recall. CHEAPER than buying a new unit
