2. Verify that the XM
Satellite Radio dealer demo
account has been set up by tuning to XM stations
000, 001, 007, 009, 047, 122, 174, and 247. If
these stations can be received, the demo account
is fully active.
NOTE: For 2007–09 MDXs, XM Satellite Radio and
real-time traffic are free for the first 3 months. After
3 months, clients must subscribe to XM radio and/
or real-time traffic to continue receiving coverage
by calling 800-852-9696, or going online to
www.xmradio.com. They will need their XM radio
ID (displayed when you tune to channel 0) and a
credit card.
3. Verify that the MID (multi-information display)
shows Welcome DRIVER 1 or Welcome
DRIVER 2 when you first get into the vehicle and
turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
NOTE: If the MID shows only Welcome when you
turn the ignition to ON (II), the remotes are not
linked with the vehicle and any changes made to
the setup settings will not be saved.
You must link the remotes before proceeding.
Refer to the Body Electrical section of the 07–09
MDX Service Manual or, online, enter keywords
KEYLESS DESC, and select Keyless/Power Door
Locks/Security System Description from the list.
4. You could possibly see the factory In Line

5. Start the engine, and move the vehicle outside,
away from buildings and power lines. Next, enter
the 4-digit security code for the navigation system.
The code is on the Navigation Anti-Theft Code
card.
NOTE:
• If the anti-theft code card is lost, you can find the
code on the iN (Interactive Network) by using the
anti-theft code option and the serial number. To
get the serial number, go to the Navi ECU
Diagnostic screen (see the navigation system
diagnostic mode in the service manual), or look
on the underside of the navigation unit under the
driver's seat.
• If you cannot find the code on the iN, contact
American Honda's Warranty Department at
310-783-3240.
• If the anti-theft code does not work, try entering
0000 (four zeros) as the code. If the system
accepts this, replace the navigation control unit.
6. The following instructions appear on the screen to
indicate the system is initializing (determining its
location from the GPS satellites). Follow the on-
screen instructions.
NOTE: The average initialization takes about 10
minutes, but it can take as long as 45 minutes.
The navigation system lost power and is acquiring its
location from the GPS satellites. This usually takes
less than 10 minutes.
* Start the engine.
* Park the vehicle in an open area away from trees,
power lines, and tall buildings.
* Remove loose articles, cell phones, or electrical
accessories located near the GPS antenna.
* If this screen is displayed repeatedly when starting
the vehicle, see your dealer.
