In the second series of our “how to” guides and hints and tips for Honda and Acura vehicle GPS map updates we have information on how you can update your Acura Navigation System (we previously told you how you can update your Honda GPS Maps). You will need to purchase a new navigation DVD which contains all the latest routes, directions, new roads, highways, and business addresses – plus a database that includes millions of points of interest files including restaurant review and tourist attraction destinations.
The Acura range of luxury motors have become one of the more popular vehicle brands in the United States over the last ten years, with the range including the CL, MDX, RDX, RL, TL, TSX, and ZDX models. Many of these models let the driver purchase the Technology package which comes with a GPS embedded into the dashboard – including rear-view camera integration to help with reversing plus entertainment options and traffic notifications. If you want to keep the maps up to date though you will need to purchase the new annual Acura Navigation DVD for 2012 and the latest disc was released in September of 2011.
Installing new Acura GPS Map Updates from Disc
If you do decide to purchase the new Acura Navi DVD then it’s very easy to install, and this is how you do it in three simple steps:
1. First find the disc drive for your Acura GPS. Most of the time the slot will be integrated into the dashboard itself below the navigation screen display, but on some older models before 2003 it will instead be located underneath the driver’s seat or even inside the glove box.
2. Once the new disc is placed inside the drive, the display will ask you to enter your own unique serial number. This will be printed onto the DVD’s packaging and case so make sure that you don’t lose it.
3. The new map updates will now start to install automatically – please be aware that due to the large amount of data being installed onto the GPS hard-disc you could be waiting for as much as an hour for it to complete.
One word of warning when updating with the new Acura Navigation DVD – do not turn off the car ignition of the GPS device when installed the new disc because this could lead to a corrupted install – you may have to consult a qualified Acura engineer or mechanic in some cases if this happens.
Why Purchase Acura Navigation System Updates?
Aside from benefiting from any road changes that might have occurred in the United States since your last update, the new disc and an up to date GPS can actually save you money on fuel costs and CO2 emissions. This is because it will automatically route you the shortest or quickest route – plus with traffic alerts it will suggest a different route if you are faced with traffic jams. In traffic jams you use more fuel due to the stopping and starting driving style.
