Car-Navigation Unit Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The audio unit communicates with the car-navigation unit and records the presence/non-presence of the car-navigation unit when the ignition is switched to ACC or ON (engine off or on) after connecting the negative battery cable.
  • If the commander switch is installed with the negative battery cable connected when the audio unit records that there is no car-navigation unit, the car-navigation unit does not operate.
  • For the car-navigation unit installation/removal, disconnect the negative battery cable, switch the ignition to ACC or ON (engine off or on) after the servicing is completed, and the audio unit records the presence/non-presence of the car-navigation unit.
NOTE:
  • If the car-navigation unit is replaced with a new one, the information set by the customer is erased because the SD card is also replaced simultaneously. If the same service as before replacing the car-navigation unit is used, the SD card update procedure is required.
  • If the car-navigation unit is replaced with a new one, explain to the customer and gain their understanding that there is a charge for updating the SD card because payment for downloading paid content is required.
