    What is the model of the device?
    Is the DVD of a new Map or a software upgrade.

    I'm not familiar with that unit do you gave a model number?
    If you put the DVD into a PC can you view its contents?

    I do not know the model number.

    the company in the uk that i bought the first disc from sent on a replacement disc, however this showed up the same errors.
    both discs were returned for a refund.

    someone said that i would need an original disc from honda, made by alpine?
    • thanks.

    Did you try the disc in a PC to see if you could view the directory?

    I received a second replacement disc from the uk but it showed up the same error messages so I returned both for refund.

    They say they have not seen this problem before with their disc.

    I heard that these units by honda only work with a genuine alpine/ honda disc supplied by honda?

    thanks

    Possibly coded that way allright.
    Glad you got sorted with a refund anyway.
