Save Users Memory

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When replacing the audio-navigation unit, this function allows the dealer to transfer the customer's personal data to the new audio-navigation unit. The transferred information includes their Setup settings and personal addresses. Inserts a PC card to the audio-navigation unit, and then select 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 audio-navigation unit.

You need to insert a PC card for these functions to work.

Before starting this function, see the PC CARD FAQSΒ  for information regarding PC cards, and the use of this function.

  1. Select the EXPORT button to move the customer's data from the original audio-navigation unit to the PC card. When prompted, select YES on the Export User Data Confirmation screen. The process takes only a couple of seconds. The system stores two files on the card.
    NOTE: If the EXPORT button is grayed out, check the PC card's edge connector, and the pins inside the audio-navigation unit (with a flashlight) for damage.
