can someone please confirm the following-

to update the map database, i need to insert the new map-DVD in the DVD palyer, and it will copy (update) the database on the HDD.

(i.e., i DO NOT need to find the nav unit and remove the old DVD)

thanks

 

Yes thats correct. I have not updated any of my new Acuras with the Hard Drive as of yet but you should just need to insert the Disc into the CD slot and it will know what to do.

 

Also I believe the newer navigation units are built into the head unit and stored on the hard drive. (There is no other nav drive like in the older models). Let us know how it goes I am curious how it goes.

 

We updated ours (2010 tech) and it was as easy as inserting a CD. The whole process is automatic. IIRC it took some time for the update (20~30 minutes).

 

thanks..i will post the update once i get the new dvd.

 

Sure thing hope your enjoying your ZDX. I cant stop driving mine it is such a comfortable car. My 2012 acura TL Sh Awd I traded on it was an amazing car but the seats were the most uncomfortable car seats I have ever sat in. The driverside had permanent lumber support in the wrong spot. The ZDX seats are some of the best I have ever sat in on the flipside. Sorry wasnt trying to go to off topic just thought I would share.
