Acura Navigation Disk

In an Acura or Honda vehicle, if you ever put a navigation map disc that is an older version than the last version that was installed in your vehicle it will not work for you. One way to get around this is to reset your navigation system. This will uninstall the current maps that are installed on the system. Once you reboot after this it will install from scratch the map version that is on the disc currently in the system.
