However, for future information, an Alpine representative there told me the price to fix my navigation unit is now $358.00 due to the first price increase in 13 years.

The price increase was effective today 05-14-12.

Thanks again for the help.

2004 Honda Accord navigation malfunction

FIRST POP the navigation disk out. Then disconnect the navigation player from your car. Next you will need to remove the cover to actually clean the laser disk lens reader. Might sound like a daunting task but this will actually fix the issue. Please remove the disk to begin with because you won’t be able to get access to the lens reader if you don’t remove it lol. I also used hydrogen peroxide with a cotton swab to clean the lens since hydrogen peroxide won’t leave a residue. YouTube has tutorials on the step by step process as well. Good luck and have fun.
