  • My husband has also just bought a 3 year old CRV and the satnav is horrendous. It sends him in the wrong direction all the time. perhaps the modern upgrade software is better. Did anyone have any ideas on finding it cheaper?

    If its any consolation its not just Honda - all manufacturers do the same.

    This thread (over 12 months!) is almost as old as the DVD in my Honda Sat Nav.

    I've looked for upgrades (the DVD in mine was nearly a year old - because that's the best update frequency - when I bought the car new) several times - with no success.

    The stuff on Ebay is either dubious - or of the same age (2004/5) as in my car. Other dealers sell mainly CDs .. but, again, no more up to date than mine.

    This FAQ on What Car seems to best describe it :-

    ....i.e. it's via Honda or nothing. The best advice I can offer is to carry a back up map! Or change the car - which I intend to do next month. On the plus side - it's been a pretty excellent car otherwise!

  • I was under the impression that Honda sat-nav is an Alpine unit. So you may want to contact Alpine-Europe for advice.
    I know for a fact that the USA Honda sat-nav is definitely Alpine.
  • Has anyone had their sat nav converted to a dvd player? Apparently it is an easy fix.
  • im sure i saw honda sat nav updates on ebid earlier on.
    worth a look.
    ...work permit granted!
  • I got one for my crv off ebay. its a copied disc,and its a 2007, my CRV is an 04reg.
    It works fine, so try there!
