Hi,

I am having problems with my screen for my disk navigation system. It is completely black but when I push the screen I can hear that it still work but just can't see anything so I know the screen still works.

I was quoted about $2300 for an acura navig. screen which is so expensive! I wanted Acura to look at it but they charge you $80 just for diagnostics.

Can someone help me to know what my problem is? Do I need to purchase a new screen or just the light(if there is such a thing) for my screen.

Thanks!

If your RL is a 1999, you may want to post on the First Generation RL forum. You'll get a lot more responses!

Its possible the backlight is bad. Unfortunately you'll have to shell out the $$$ for a diagnosis short of having me or someone else check it for you.

How do I update the nav system in my 99RL? I dont have the DVD, can anyone help?

If you dont have the DVD, its no wonder it wont work.

You'll need to buy it either off of eBay or from Acura. I'm quite sure this an up-to-date version waiting for you.

It IS a '99 correct? I thought Acura didnt have DVD based navi's until 2000?

If it IS a 99, it is CD-based

Yes Ken I checked and my backlight is out. So if I replace the bulbs or fuses, whichever one is bad, my screen will work again? Do you know the which fuse box the backlight is located?

Thanks!

I'm not so sure about where it is located or how it works. But at least you know the repairs won't be too expensive. Maybe you can beg one of the Acura mechanics to do it on the side?

ok does that mean I cant get my nav system updated because acura went to a dvd format?

Precisely.
