EDITOR'S NOTE: This article replaces "HDD Access Error? Transfer HDD to Replacement Audio-Navi Unit," posted in February 2013.
If you're replacing an HDD-based audio-navigation unit-even for an audio-related problem-make sure you transfer the HDD to the replacement unit. Replacement units don't come with HDDs. For complete instructions on HDD removal and installation, see the service information.
If you forget to transfer the HDD and power up the replacement unit without it, you'll see this error message. If so, it means you damaged the unit and will need to order another one.
