It's 6.62. I just checked it last night. I had a similar problem with the navi system on the Mazda5 we just traded in. Even though it was a 06, the navi DVD was date 04.

Your options are limited... you can try ebay or buy one from the Honda.

First post!

Nice review! I would love to have one of these. I currently drive an 08 Civic Si coupe w/navi but my girl needs a car and I want something A/T and comfortable to drive on the weekends. We're probably going to end up with a CR-V or an Accord sedan.

I have yet to drive one but I'm on my 4th Honda so I'm fine with Honda.

Leonard we've had all 3 generations in our extended family.

I find that family members with G1 'vs don't like the styling of the later cars. I had a G2 'v first and really liked it. Just bought a g3 'v and it's incredible!

But the real message is that the CR-V is a great car, and if you're like me, it will grow on you!

Is there a place where I can purchase a factory navigation system for my 08 CRV EX-L? I would like to upgrade my 6-disc factory radio w/ XM but not interested in installing an aftermarket because the factory navigation systems are not as attractive to car stereo thieves. Unfortunately, I have had two cars broken in to in my neighbordood in the past and I don't want to go through the hassle of replace radios and/or windows again for that matter.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
