v14 whereis map upgrade problem

[pjreige]

Hi all,

recently bought original honda whereis v14.02 maps for my 2008 euro luxury (CL9). I didnt actually get it from a dealer (bought it off ebay), however im certain it is a legitimate copy (came in sealed case along with the accord navigation system book.

When i went to install the dvd into the car last night to upgrade from v13 to v14, it came back with a message saying incorrect dvd etc.

Has anyone ever experienced this issue or know how to fix???

Do honda have different discs for different models???

Thanks!!!!

How much did you pay for it?Maybe you bought a really good copy that looks legit but isn't.

Have you tried updating the firmware from the new DVD?
-Insert DVD into Navigation unit
-Start the car, and hold Map/Guide, Menu, and Cancel for 5 seconds.
-Hit the "Version" button on the touch screen
-Hit the "Load Disc" button on the Version screen.
-Navigation Unit will load the new firmware and reboot

Thanks Kodak

Before trying your suggestion, is there any risk i will have issues with version 13 should the firmware version upgrade not fix the issue????

Im pretty sure it is a legit disk, looks authentic and doesnt show the signs of a burnt copy....

[Kodak]

If it doesn't work you should be to follow the same procedure to restore your old V13 disc. If that doesn't work, disconnect the battery (>20min I think), which from what I understand, resets the nav and automatically uploads the firmware.

You can do a forum search for firmware hacks etc. there is a bit of information relating to this.

All i did with V14 is to remove the V13 disc from the drive whilst the car was running and pop V14 in and a message appeared to not switch off the car until process had been completed (about 1 min) then all was well.

[Kodak]

That sounds like it performed a firmware upgrade automatically.

Thanks for your help!!!!

I think I have found the problem. The copy i bought off ebay was for a Honda Accord and not the euro... Checked with Honda and the disks have two different part numbers (dammit)...

Might have to go back to the ebay seller and clear this up....

[Kodak]

Thanks for the update, let me know how you go :)

Hi all,

Not too sure if this is common knowledge or not... As mentioned earlier the copy i bought was for an accord (not the euro). Thankfully, the ebay seller has been good enough to also do some research and has decided to refund me the money (i must say he has really gone out of his way which is pretty rare on ebay!!!!).

Either way, got confirmation from Honda today that the version i have (08 Accord) is also compatible with the 09 Euro Luxury. Part number details are as follows:

(2008) CL9 Accord Euro Luxury : 390010-SEA-L03
(2008) Accord and CU2 Accord Euro Luxury (2009): 39010-TC0-Q01

[Darkii_]

what exactly did you need help with? finding the dvd? Honda + arm and a leg

[gloria mitchell]

i am looking for a download on my pc

You can't actually download it. Downloading a pirate copy is illegal and looked down upon by the ozhonda community.

honda is stupid some times...

I dont get why they have to make two different versions of the friken same disc. Regardless of what navigation it is either in the CL9 or the CU2 or the Accord, it should be the same disk and that will keep cost down as well as only producing one disc.

Look at Toyota, they have many models in their range and regardless of what year it works in all of them... To add to that it even works in a Lexus as well.

Seriously Honda is stupid some times. End RANT...

I agree with your comments but think that it isnt "stupid" but planned greed in the same way that another famous "highly regarded" Japanese company named Sony or American company named Apple seek to maximise profits by trapping users/consumers to their brand/product through design...great products all but that really aggravates me...having said that..I have a Honda and a few Sony products because they are good at what they do...have so far escaped the clutches of apple despite the appeal of some of their stuff...its a business plan/philosophy that for some people is enough to make them go elsewhere

Apart from the addition of extra roads etc. Has anyone noticed any improvement to the navigation software itself with the upgrade?

hahaha Apple.... 

I dont have it but i'll probably plan to upgrade to V17 when it comes out in 2 or so years... I think V13 to 17 should be a good enough jump...

All i did with V14 is to remove the V13 disc from the drive whilst the car was running and pop V14 in and a message appeared to not switch off the car until process had been completed (about 1 min) then all was well.

did you end up getting the disk working ? which year model is your accord ? I am after a version 14 disk for my 07 euro which had the version 12 disk in there for some reason.

[forensics]

how much is a legitimate V14 from the dealers?

[neoboy]

I called the local dealer spare parts and they quoted me $404.90 AUD for the DVD. V15 for the 07 model. They said should be just plug and play. And when asked if I could go direct from version 12 to 15 directly he said that you would have to take to it to the service department to find out.

[forensics]

anyone have the new version and can copy it for me for a small fee? my dog ate my copy and forgot to back it up.. =P PM me please

[Kodak]

The DVD is not so much an upgrade as it is a reinstall, so no problem going from 12-15
