Collision Avoidance - Delayed Rearview Image Display

Rearview Image Is Delayed in Reverse or Stays On in Drive

NOTE:
This article applies to '05 Odyssey FX-L and Touring models with the navigation system. If there's a 10-second or more delay for the rearview image to appear on the navigation system display screen when you move the shift lever to R, or the rearview image stays on for an extended period of time once you move the shift lever to D, you may need to update the navigation system software. Later software cuts down the delay time to 1 or 2 seconds and keeps the rearview image from lingering with the shift lever in D. Here's what you need to do:

1. Check the software version that's listed on the System Information screen.

^ If the software version is 1.14.00, you've already got the latest software. Go to step 8.

^ If the software version is something earlier than 1.14.00, go to step 2.

2. Borrow a navigation DVD from a '05 Odyssey built afier 3/3/05. That DVD is marked version 4.13c and has a white label.

IMPORTANT:
Never try this procedure using the navigation DVD from a '06 Odyssey (software version 4.31). It would rewrite the operating system software, making your customer's DVD unusable.

3. Start the engine, then open the front cover of the navigation unit under the driver's seat.

4. Press the EJECT button on the front of the unit, and remove the DVD.

5. Insert the borrowed DVD (sofiware version 4.13c), and close the front cover. Make sure you leave the engine running while the data uploads to the navigation unit.

6. Select OK on the disclaimer screen.

7. Press the EJECT button, remove the DVD, and insert the original one. The navigation system now has the updated software (version 1.14.00).

8. Check the rearview image as you move the shift lever to R and then to D.

^ If there's an image delay of about 1 to 2 seconds, this is characteristic for this software.

^ If there's still an image delay of 10 seconds or more, replace the navigation unit.

9. Refer to page 23-67 of the '05-06 Odyssey S/M, and do a map match. (Online, enter keyword NAVI, and select How to Troubleshoot the Navigation System (With Navigation) from the list.

10. Return the donor DVD to the donor vehicle.
