I am wondering if anyone ever tried to "backup" the Honda navigation DVD in
an Accord?
The DVD plays all the time while car is moving. I am wondering how long
will this DVD last?
How much it costs to replace?
Is it copy-protected?

The DVD itself will last practically forever (barring physical abuse). The
laser in the DVD reader may eventually decide to burn out.

Remember that nothing actually touches the DVD when in operation.

Don't know if it's copy-protected. Try burning one and see. At worst you've
made a coaster of your blank DVD.

be more worried about the player than the dvd disk.

Try using DVDFab Decrypter to make a backup.
