Save Users Memory: Notes
When replacing the audio-navigation unit, this function allows the dealer to transfer the customer's personal data to the new audio-navigation unit.
This is similar to saving and entering the customer's audio presets when replacing an audio unit. The transferred information includes their Setup settings and personal addresses. The dealer inserts a PC card (like the PC card in the HDS), and then selects the Save Users Memory function. The two functions in this diagnostic screen are Export and import. Export saves the customer's data to the PC card, and Import moves the PC card files to the new navigation core.
See the FAQs below for information regarding PC cards, and how to use this function.
Before starting this function, see the PC card FAQs for information about PC cards, and how to use this function (see PC Card FAQs) .
