This was a possible component of the DVD navigation system in the following vehicles, provided your part number matches what we have listed above. This particular version is believed to be for non-US vehicles. There were different versions and returns are not accepted. If your factory DVD nav drive no longer plays, loads or ejects DVDs, your part number matches and your vehicle is on the list below, this should solve your problem. The map disc/card, wiring, screen and other components should already be in your vehicle. This is just part of the navigation system.

This is a brand new, factory original (OEM) Acura DVD-ROM navigation drive with faceplate.

Because if it happens again THEY get to pay the $700 for a STUPID DVD DRIVE!! Seriously? A DVD DRIVE? Who needs a DVD drive to, oh.I don't ntrol the car?īut it gets even better.if that $0.10 piece of plastic DVD disc gets ruined? Guess what? NO HEAT OR AC FOR US! Yeah! Unless we pay the $150 for a new disc! What's on the disc? NAVIGATION SOFTWARE! Yeah! That's needed for AC/heat!!īottom line.shame on Acura. So what does this mean? From now on, if that battery dies again.we are going to take it to the dealer and let them replace it and pay a premium to do that. I don't blame him because it's just a battery swap. He just simply swapped out the battery and this started happening. Now, this all started with the guy at AutoZone changed a battery. I have never seen a design as bad as this.

Let me just say this.I work in software and I have seen a lot of bad designs but this takes the cake. Including the WRONG one that was sent to us and we couldn't get a refund. We got a second-hand one installed and it seems to work now. But, unfortunately, you can't get a new one. After a LOT of research, we found out there is simply no way this can be fixed without purchasing a new DVD drive. I hope this helps someone out there with a similar problem. To be crippled like this for such a stupid design is really eating away at me. We love everything else about this car (and it's paid for). Is this seriously our best option? Other than buying a new vehicle, of course.

Which puts us at over $1,000 and we still don't know if that will fix it.

If it doesn't, he then suggested replacing the DVD drive.

Which is absolutely insane! And, the dealer admitted it probably won't fix it. So my wife calls the Acura dealer and they suggest buying a new DVD. Why in the world the internal temperature for a vehicle is dependent on a navigation DVD is beyond my comprehension.but that's what we got. The issue is that we cannot control the internal temps or anything else because almost all of it runs through the touch screen system. We've taken the disc out and put it back in, etc. Under the passenger seat is a DVD drive that contains the navigation software (GPS, maps, etc. We replaced the battery and ever since then, the on-board navigation system has this error message that says something like "Check the disc.". So a while back the battery died and wouldn't hold a charge. I can't remember the exact year at the moment but I want to say it's either a 2004 or 2008. But we have a major issue with my wife's Acura MDX. Anyway, first of all, I am not anything even remotely close to a mechanic. I tried searching for this question but could not find it.
