    Changing Home Address on Nav

    I cant figure out how to change the home address on the Navigation system? There is also no mention of it in the manual? I can add and delete items from the address book, but no way to change the "Home" address. Can anyone help me with this?

    New Owner 2008 CX-9 GT

    $18k. 80k miles. Probably a bit high, but it is in perfect condition, nearly new tires, and I was tired of looking. Was interested in Satelite radio until i saw the install instructions. Wow what a hassle.

    Spark plug change from the Dealer- can this be right ??

    Plug Replacement It is very common on newer V6 engines to need to remove the "Intake Plenum" in order to change the spark plugs. The gasket on the plenum is reusable but a new one is cheap and it might leak if you damage it. Plugs these days are expensive (approx $8) each since they last...
