Hahahaha.... damn... that is frustrating... one fussy customer ay...
Oh mate, forgot to mention: DO NOT Unplug the DVD ROM. otherwise u will need the Boot DVD to unlock it. !!

Thats handy... $1600 for a DVD???? what a joke...
Alright then... tried coying the damn DVD without any luck... hehehe...

Right, got the car back from the shop and they've told us that everything is connected! So not sure what we can do now!

hmmm... reset the DVD ROM i suppose. take the battery out, put the DVD in, let it run then start from fresh.

Thanks for the help though, much appreciated!

No worries mate. sometime it does take a while and a few attempts to change that thing. Happened to mine and figured out that the GPS signal needs to be active...

off-topic, Jono does that accord come with a smartkey (keyless entry and ignition)? Ever entertained anyone in acquiring a 2nd key?

yea. feel nervous only having 1 key

how did it go jono? any luck?

anyone can tell me the aux and dvd (for reversecam )wiring drigam?

You will have to buy the module for either AUX or Reverse Cam.
Since you're in christchurch, you can talk with Kent from About Sounds.

I have a japanese import honda accord 2002. I have changed the clock several times previously due to daylight savings. However daylight savings have just started last weekend. And this time round I am not able to get into the special hidden menu to adjust the clock. When I press on the Second, Third and Last button nothing comes up..I get this (assuming it is) an 'error' message in japanese at the top of the screen.
Can someone tell me what is wrong or how do I go about changing the clock? Do I need to find the CD/DVD? (not sure where I can find this from)

My stereo is the same as this: http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...6102009279.jpg

Please help

I sat there for a good 20min pushing the 3 bottons before the screen let me in, then worked fine.

I dont think you need the re-boot DVD. One thing to always make sure is your car is outside as the sat nav system needs to talk to the satellite when changing the clock.

So you suggest I sit there and keep trying until the menu pops up (pressing the 3 buttons)? hmm I wonder what is causing this... I'll give it a try tonight (fingers crossed)

I tried it while driving home last night (approx 20 mins) I kept pressing the 3 buttons and no luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Im afraid if i keep pressing the 3 buttons I might break some of the electrical parts..

For anyone else not being able to see the photos to help adjusting the clock can try this link:

Don't want to sell them but i will entertain lending them.
I've tried copying them but every method I've tried of ends up making double-layer coasters. If anyone knows of a sure-fire copying method let me know and we can come to some arrangement.

Also - the second pic in NZJonos post (#71) shows it is not seeing any satellites. When it's picking up signals from satellites there will be a number of them showing as yellow discs in the circular "target crosshairs" - at any time I can see at least 5 satellites, often as many as 7 showing on the target

Hi Pete - I have just bought a Honda Inspire 2004 with an Alpine DVD unit in the boot for the navigation disk. I live in Upper Hutt but would like to give the disk a go - I think I require the Orange disk. Are you still prepared to lend them for a few days ???

PM sent.
Also the guy I loaned the disk to has managed to copy, said he will send me one or two with my original.

Interesting - Accord navi disk (2006, blue) works in Inspire.

Hi Guys, New to NZHondas.com..

Thought Id help point out how to change your Dashboard/GPS time on the Japanese Interface.

I have noticed there seems to be two different secret menus mentioned by users on this forum and no one has mentioned how to change the time for the one I have myself..

If your Secret Menu looks like the one Highlighted in Green Below then follow these instructions to change your time on your GPS/Dash.



1 - Firstly, Obviously You must get to this Secret Menu.. to get here check the image provided in the link below (for your convenience) or look back through the thread as it has been posted already.
http://db.tt/IWyohlQ2

2 - Once you are in the Secret Menu we must access the SECOND SECRET MENU
Do that by holding the button on your dash highlighted in Green below for a few seconds



3 - You should then be presented by a screen that looks like the one below.. Select the option Highlighted in green from here:



4 - Now Select "GPS Something something in Japanese" as per green Highlight below



5 - Now you can change the Offset of your time... If your GPS is set to Japan time (in which case mine was) all I did was increase the HOUR Offset by 4 Highlighted in Green below:



6 - Once you have changed it to what you want you need to click the button where my finger is pointing below (the changing number is a button itself)



7 - Save the changes you have made as per below:



You can now exit the menu and your time should now be correct (if you selected the correct offset.. took me a couple of try's to get it right)

*note* The other Offset options are for Minutes and possibly the Date (I didn't change anything else whilst I was in there)

Hope this helps people out a bit

Peace
