Can someone with an '06 Accord NAV help me?

Since it was under warranty, they would have only wasted their time, unless
they could bill it back to Honda.

Okay, here is the outcome.

The numbers should be different. The dealer said the card is wrong and
they need the NAV SN. They will have to pull the unit. I knew I saw
the SN somewhere in the programming screen. I asked can they get it
another way? No. I went to the car, pressed the three button sequence
to get into the programming of the NAV. I pulled the SN, they generated
me the code. All is well.

So, keep in mind that none of what I was asking is in the owners manual.

Isn't it scary when you know more about the operation of your vehicle
than the dealer people do?

You're too kind. Are you sure that he knows more than they do? Perhaps
they were merely looking at it as a profit center. Can't make any money
just being helpful to the customer and clarifying something they should
have given him in the first place. Much better to TELL him they have to
pull the unit, hit him with a good bill and then let him marvel at what a
wonderful job they did pulling the unit and reinstalling it without so
much as a scratch to the dashboard trim<g

Would you look and see if the Radio Code and the NAV Code are the same?

My battery died, and the radio code and nave code are the same number on
my card, but only the radio code works. It will not accept the NAV code.
I'm locked out of the system.

After reading all of this, I have to wonder if it is a better idea simply to

buy a portable GPS like a Garmin 330.

The number is different.
I have firt row 4 digits, 2nd row has 11 characters started with three
letters, the rest are numbers.
I am not sure which one is for radio or Navi.
Hope this helps.

Good point. I also now have a Garmin 360 Nuvi. I find it more useful and
more accurate than the one in the Accord. But I do like the techno gadgetry
of the LCD panel (when it works). I doubt I will by a Gps in my next Honda,
the portable is more practical.
