I was just talking to DaleB who just picked up his MDX. Unfortunately, he realized too late that his Nav system gives a "DVD ROM Not Formatted" error. It is too late to get help from the dealer, and he plans to return home up North tomorrow.

I will be calling him at 8:30PM west coast time. I looked at the Nav TQI bullertin, and I also have the service manual, and neither addresses the error he has. If I were to guess, it may be that the DVD ROM is defective, maybe just dirty, and cant be read.

I hope someone has some insight, otherwise I am going to suggest to eject the DVD, examine it, replace it, and go through the setup as described in the repair manual (also in the TQI).

I hate to see Dale having to go home and not use his Nav system.

Thanks.

Just talked to Dale. Cleaning the DVD disk did the trick. He is up and running now.

Dale promises to post pictures of his new GG MDX when he gets back home.

It would have been a real bummer if your trick didn't work. Dale's probably the member who has most posts before getting his car.

Congratulations DaleB!

Well, I am back! And the navi worked great after that one glitch.
I am posting a full review based on my trip as a topic today.
Pics will follow in another day or two.
Thanks again, ifeldman and the rest of you!
