It means that either the DVD Rom Navigation is failing, or you have a scratched disc. Most likely the laser is dirty (which can be cleaned with one of those disc / laser cleaners with the brushes on the CD), or you have a problem with the DVD Rom itself, which cannot easily be fixed without sending the unit to Alpine to get it repaired. In my case, I had a power interruption during a map update, so that put my system in an endless loop where it couldn't read the firmware or go back to the original firmware maps.

I searched high and low for a fix, but even the dealership couldnt reset the unit to read the original map DVD once it was in this mode, so I had to find a better solution.

Make sure that if you go the auto-wrecker route that you can get the Navi code for the DVD Rom unit, otherwise you won't be able to access the GPS system. If you have the original car's VIN and the serial number of the DVD Rom Navi unit then you can retrieve it online through Honda / Acura. Without the Navi code (the 4 digit anti-theft code used to activate the navigation system) it won't work.

Hope this information helps a bit. Hopefully your problem is just a dirty DVD lens that can be easily fixed with a CD/Disc drive cleaner.
