- If the navigation unit is replaced or disconnected, a Map Matching must be done (see MAP MATCHING ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then reinstall the client's original DVD, verifying that the DVD is free of scratches or smudges.
- Check online 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.
