HOW CAN I DO A FORCED DOWNLOAD ON MY CRV SAT NAV TO ELIMINATE DISC ERROR?

To force download:

1. Start the engine.
2. Wait until error message appears on screen.
3. Push 'MENU' and 'ZOOM DOWN' switches simultaneously for 2 seconds.
4. Screen turns to SYSTEM LINK page.
5. Press 'NEXT' switch (opens car staus page).
6. Press 'NEXT' switch (opens yaw rate page).
7. Press 'NEXT' switch (opens diagnosis menu page).
8. Select 'UNIT CHECK'.
9. Select 'FORCE DOWN LOAD'.

If you are getting the "Error reading DVD" message, you should go through the procedure for cleaning the DVD laser lens.
I have fixed this error on my CR-V Satnav twice, over the past four years, by cleaning the lens.
