Car Forum / Acura Cars / December 2004Navi software bug
I have just received the latest DVD version (2.11c) of the Navi software for my '00' 3.2TL. My [Shutdown] feature no longer functions the same as it used to. E.g., when I am in the vehicle with the ignition switch to the acc. position (just to listen to the radio) I can select [Shutdown], but after about 10 minutes I get the screen message "Shutting down to conserve battery life." This never used to happen. What used to happen was that it *did* shutdown (immediately) when I told it to. It is deceptive, as it acts like it shuts down...but in reality it doesn't... This has got to be a bug becuase I can see no logical reason to still offer & display a [Shutdown] option and not shutdown. Anyone else? -J Middleman I think your previous DVD must have had a few loose bits. My '00 TL always did the "shutting down to conserve Battery life" from day one. I do see any different behavior with the new DVD. I do agree with you that the shutdown button is deceptive (and always has been) because it does not shutdown the system, it just kills the screen. "Screen off" might be a better name for the button. >I have just received the latest DVD version (2.11c) of the Navi software >for my '00' 3.2TL. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > ---------------------------------------------------------- > http://www.binaries.net The "shutting down to conserve battery life" has popped up before on my previous versions of the software. But only when I forgot to use the [Shutdown] button. I have sat in my vehicle MANY times under the old software, and ALWAYS after using the [Shutdown], it did shutdown...and I never saw the "shutting down to conserve battery" message afterwards......But I DO NOW under the new software! "Loose bits???" perhaps, but I know what I saw...and I don't drink or do drugs! :o) Thanks for your feed back! Anyone else? -Middleman "E.

I went to order mine yesterday and there is a note on the page that says v2.20 is coming in January. I'm going to wait for that one! >My [Shutdown] feature no longer functions the same as it used to.

The 'shutting down to conserve battery life' actually happened while I was sitting in the car with the salesman and he told me that's the way it works. What version was written on your old disc? Was it pre v1.13? Azcat "Azcat" <azcat@REMOVE.charter.net> wrote in message : > What version was written on your old disc? Was it pre v1.13? It was the original DVD that came with my TL when I bought it new in 2000. The old disc is history (trashed), so I can't tell you what the version was... -Middleman
