Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Software Loading/Configuration
All vehicles with navigation systems are delivered with the latest software installed and the language versions set to the appropriate market configuration. The system can have software loaded by the dealer, when new software is released for example.
Software can be loaded from a CD that is inserted into the navigation computer. The computer automatically senses that a software CD has been inserted and will display a software loading screen on the display unit LCD or the instrument cluster message center and begin to load the software. The LCD will display that software loading has commenced and the software version. The languages being loaded will also be displayed where appropriate.
