Why is my Honda CRV giving sat nav DVD errors?
My 2005 UK spec CRV exec had been giving a sat nav DVD disc reading error for quite some time. The disc itself was scratch free. I tried a lens cleaning disc with no success. Next I tried the old window cleaning wipe wrapped around a ruler method. This did help for a few weeks but before long the annoying error screen had returned.
How to clean the sat nav lens in a Honda CRV?
Flip the unit over and remove the top plate by pulling it up – sorry no picture. This will expose the underside of the circuit board which is covered by a metal plate – DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THIS PLATE – it’s not necessary. Before removing the circuit board be aware that it is attached to something (I don’t know what) by a ribbon cable.

Why is my satnav not reading my DVD?
CDs are unaffected as they use a separate laser. The good news is that you can replace the DVD laser or more easily the DVD laser mechanism – parts are available for just that purpose. Have a look at the sat nav thread at www.xoutpost.com for all the info / DIY instructions etc. Thanks, I managed to stumble across that site recently.

Is there an app for Honda Nav system?
Earlier (pre Gen-5 CR-V) versions of roughly the same Honda (really Mitsubsihi) software actually let you download and install a Nav app. But since Nav was a factory ($1,000!) option for the EX and EX-L (a re-skin of standard Garmin software), they took the option to download away, and there’s not enough flash on the unit anyway.
