Something interesting related to this...
I have noticed that when I start up the AVIC, if it has been left one some screen other than the map (ipod, fm, etc) I can get into the map without having to press "OK". All I do is make a call with my phone through the bluetooth, then after I hang up, the screen automatically goes to the map. This happens every time I do this in that order. Then, while I am on the map screen, I can press the "MAP" button and the safety message will pop up with the "OK" button.
Don't know if anyone else has experienced this or if it might give some insight in
