System Initialization; Gps Initialization - Honda 2007 Acura RL User Manual

2005-08 ACCESSORIES AND EQUIPMENT Navigation System - RL
Adjust the setup clock settings (time zone and daylight savings) in the navigation system.

SYSTEM INITIALIZATION

If for any reason, you lose power to the navigation system (like the battery was disconnected), the
navigation system will require initialization. Once completed, your system will be ready to use.
This initialization requires the following:
Entering the 4-digit anti-theft security code to "unlock" the system

GPS initialization (may not be needed depending of the length of time the system was without power)

Map matching to align the GPS to a location on the map

ENTERING SECURITY CODE
Any time power is disconnected from the navigation unit, the 4-digit anti-theft code must be entered on the
navigation system display. This 4-digit code can be found on a small code card that was given to the client.
Enter the 4-digit code, then select "Done".
If the navigation system anti-theft code cannot found, use the interactive Network (iN) to look it up. You
will need the serial number for the navigation unit to do this. You can view the serial number by entering the
diagnostic mode. Select Unit Check from the main menu, then the Navi ECU diagnostic screen. This allows
you to get the serial number without removing the navigation unit.
The N may display more than one code for a given serial number. This is because serial numbers are not
unique. You may have to try more than one 4-digit code. If no code is shown, or if the code(s) given do not
work in the navigation unit, contact the Automobile Warranty department. If the code "0000" works, then
replace the navigation unit.
When replacing the navigation unit or audio unit, be sure to give the client the new anti-theft security code.

GPS INITIALIZATION

Depending on the length of time the battery was disconnected, your system may require GPS initialization.
If it does, the following screen appears:
***Wait***
The system is acquiring its GPS signal. This could take up to 10 minutes.
Engine must be running

Vehicle must be parked outside, away from buildings

Do not move the vehicle at this time

If this procedure is not necessary, the system proceeds directly to the Disclaimer screen. During
initialization, the system searches for all available GPS satellites, and obtains their orbital information.
During this procedure, the vehicle should be out in the open with a clear view of the sky.
If the navigation system finds the satellites properly, this box clears, and changes to the Disclaimer screen. If
