  8. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), then reinstall the customer's original DVD, verifying that the DVD is free of scratches or smudges.
  9. Check on-line for any service publications prescribing patches for the navigation system, and if any should be applied to the new navigation unit.
    NOTE: Simply transferring the DVD from the original navigation unit to the new navigation unit does not assure the correct software for the vehicle will be loaded into the new navigation unit. Doing the DVD transfer without doing software patches may cause the new navigation unit to appear to be malfunctioning.
  10. Enter the new navigation anti-theft code.
  11. Park the vehicle outside, and do the GPS initialization (see GPS INITIALIZATION  ).
  12. Give the new navigation anti-theft code to the customer.
