Then you can press the bottom of update and begin to insert the new DVD. It will bring you to the navigation of Map/Guide + Menu + Cancel.
Step3:
Be sure to select the right version and download when you choose the version. This will force the system to load the software on the older DVD. Give it a few minutes to revert the system to the older code. After this step it should be back to normal as before updating. Cycle the power once the update is done. Everything will return the normal.
Tips & Warming
If the Honda navigation DVD player gets stuck when it shows some inline Diagnostic and is constantly testing, you can try to press the voice command button and ask for the help automotive. If this case is continuing to test the SD CARD, you should see the Level change in the diagnostic when you say a test word or 2. This should take it out of the continual Testing... loop and allow you to get back to the normal Diagnostic menu.
