I bought accord 2006 4 cylinders 4d with navigation system from US , I use it now in middle east but I can’t see maps so I bought pc card with 2GB SD memory card to install the new map in it. I want to know which file type my unit can read of if I can put a map from GARMIN, TOMTOM, MAJILAN or others
advice me

 

You'll need to get a Navi DVD from a Honda dealer over there and ASK to make sure it works with a USDM navigation system. Just because it displays maps does not mean it can just use different software, if it did, Alpine maps would be your best bet, as the electronics are made by Alpine.

 

Thanks pal

but we don't have a navigation system for honda in our area so the dealer don't know anything about navi sys

 

any idea

 

If I remember correctly it is possible to download and burn your own copy. Just finding the image may be hard. The retail ones are hard to find and expensive as it is. If you want one your going to have to find it yourself, there is nothing we can do for you, especially since your not in the states.

EDIT: And there is no SD slot... It must be on a DVD this is the OEM navi, there are reasons it doesn't have features like that.

 

It is difficult to find the navi DVD images, and you need to have a dual-layer DVD burner to create them.

t00fatt - the OEM Navi disc drive has a PC card slot, but I have no idea if it was ever used for anything.

 

It's probably used for running some debugging software, definitely not for maps though. I didn't notice that slot on my dad's ridgeline.

 

Mom's MDX has it for sure...
