Navigation system malfunction. On approximately 8/16 or 8/17/2017, the clock displayed on the navigation screen became stuck at "0:00". I'm not sure whether this affects the actual navigation function, gps system, or other electrical (or non-electrical) components. I believe the dvd-based navigation system hardware and software was manufactured by alpine for Honda (and many other auto manufacturers). I have updated my map/software dvd twice since I purchased the car in 2002. I have turned the navigation system and the car on and off several times, removed the software/maps dvd and reinserted it, and performed many other attempts to fix the problem, all without success.
