Save Users Memory

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. The dealer inserts a PC card to the audio-navigation unit, 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 audio-navigation unit.

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

1. Select EXPORT button to move the customer's data from the original audio-navigation unit to the PC card. 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.

3. Select IMPORT button to move the two files stored by the Export process from the PC card to the new audio-navigation unit. Select YES on the Import User Data Confirmation screen. When the transfer is finished (a few seconds) the system automatically reboots. After the system reboots, remove the PC card from the PC slot.
