How do I use the audio system with a navigation system?
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
If you have an Accord with an in-dash navigation system, there’s good news. Most of your audio system functionality still comes from the standard buttons on the interface. However, there are some things you can only do by using the “interface dial”. This is the large knob on the lower center portion of your system. It combines three different elements:
The enter button
The rotating knob
The selector direction pad (up, down, left and right)
The selector pad is what lets you access the menu system, and scroll through lists, menus and other items.
To access a menu item, use the arrows or knob to highlight it, and then press enter.

The In-built GPS Navigation option is available in all models of Honda Accord. Check similar car details: Does Toyota Camry has GPS navigation system? Does Audi A4 has GPS navigation system?
Your Accord has a built-in auxiliary input jack for just this purpose. You`ll find it located inside the center console near the back (beside the USB connector). To connect, you`ll need to use a 3.5-mm stereo connector. Once you have your device connected, just press the CD/AUX button to access it.
Accord EX and EX-L Coupe and Accord EX-L Sedan models include Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® as standard equipment for connecting wirelessly with compatible mobile phones.
Two ways to confirm your car has navigation – 1) look for a “MAP” hard key or 2) go to the system info page on your display screen (usually under hard key “SETUP”, then “System” or “Sys Info” on the touchscreen). If your car has navigation, there will be a “map version” number displayed.
Honda vehicles with Garmin Navigation come with either 3 years (2021 Honda North America vehicles and newer) or 5 years (all other model years and regions) of map updates at no cost.
None of the 3 versions of Honda Accord [2011-2014] has GPS Navigation System.
For the 2012 model year, the only thing that`s updated is a standard USB input for the stereo across all Accord models. Last year, the USB port was available only on the EX and EX-L trims. Other than that, the Accord is the same as it was for 2011.
The ninth generation Accord is a mid-size car introduced by Honda in 2012 which received a refreshed front fascia, grill, headlights, tail lights and alloy wheel designs for the 2016 model year.
The Accord sedan and coupe share the same dashboard design and factory radios. The standard piece was an AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA player connected to six speakers. The Premium Audio system added a subwoofer for a total of seven speakers.

navigation on toyota corolla 2017
ANSWER : If your Corolla has the optional Entune™ Audio Plus With Connected Navigation App, then there is built in navigation. To my knowledge, Entune Audio alone does not have navigation. To be sure, simply look on the window sticker for the vehicle and you will see the options listed. Alternatively, there is a comprehensive Owner’s Manual for the vehicle and that will provide full details if there is navigation capability. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
Why is my air system blowing out hot air in spurts and why is the temperature gauge nearing hot while in use?
ANSWER : This can be caused for a variety of reasons such as a malfunctioning thermostat, a radiator not flowing properly, a faulty coolant temp sensor or AC refrigerant not properly being supplied to the AC compressor. Your car’s AC system puts a heavy strain on your car’s engine when it runs as it requires a lot of power to run. When the AC compressor comes on it puts additional strain on the motor that may be already struggling to stay cool as a result of any of the issues named above. I would recommend having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose and repair.

How do you use the Auxiliary jack on the audio system for the Ford Fusion?
ANSWER : Your car is equipped from the factory to let you connect other devices to your radio. The Auxiliary jack lets you connect things like an external CD player, or even an MP3 player to the radio – any device that can output sound to a pair of headphones can be connected, and the sound played through your car’s features. Here’s what you need to know:
Locate the Auxiliary input jack beside the front power accessory.
Connect your device with an extension cable. Don’t use an auto line leveler – only an extension cable will work.
Press the AUX button on the radio. You’ll need to cycle through the options until you find “LINE,” “LINE IN,” or “SYNC LINE IN.”
Cycle through the tracks or songs on your device and the sound will come from the car’s speakers.
The sound from your car’s speakers may be lower than expected. Adjust the volume to your preference.
A problem with my headlight control sensor and navigation changing to night and day mode.
ANSWER : Hello Sharon, thank you for writing in. The headlight control module utilizes a photocell which detects the sunlight. The navigation system shares this information so it knows when to automatically change into "night mode". The module may be malfunctioning and need to be replaced, or the photocell itself may be damaged or covered with something. The price for replacing this unit will depend on the time spent for diagnostics, any time spent on the repair, and the part. For more exact pricing quotes or to schedule an appointment, visit our service department.
I have an Audi Avant A4 2002 car which came with a different navigation system.
ANSWER : Hi there. What I suggest is removing the navigation system from your dash and look at the back of the system. There will be a serial number that you can use to locate the type of navigation system that the vehicle came with. If your system is not working, this will help you with a replacement system. If you need further assistance with removing the navigation system from the dash, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.
