I have no idea why they gave you a second hinge assembly. The part numbers don't overlap parts. But then again, I have no idea why Honda gave me two mounting brackets.
No wonder the parts are backordered...they're giving extras away for free :scratches:
Essentially, it's probably something similar to that above.
Imagine it's really hot outside, sun is out and hardly any clouds around. Now take a mirror or anything large and reflective and make the sun point to any spot on your paint. Then let it sit there for an hour or two and that is what you...
But are you putting any other object in the seat? A backpack, water bottles, etc? Any object in the passenger seat has the potential to trigger the sensor.
If you don't have anything in the passenger seat when it is triggered, then the sensor is malfunctioning.

I'll be sure to post anything else new that I notice.
It seems to be a simple map update. I haven't noticed anything new yet, other than the new confirmation screen and the fact that it goes straight to the map whether you select OK or not.
Previously, if you didn't select OK at the Confirmation screen, the screen would simply go dark. I preferred...
My patience finally paid off. Navteq called me today and gave me a working password.
