    NOTE: Dates of current and new software will appear. The "new" software date should be more current than the one being replaced. If not, abort the process by selecting CANCEL. If CD-ROM ejects itself and the CD's date of software is newer, reinsert CD-ROM and continue procedure.
  8. Using the cursor knob, select START HEAD UNIT (should be selected by default) and then depress the knob to begin the download process.
    CAUTION: The update process takes up to 50-60 minutes and it is not necessary for the technician to remain with the vehicle and observe the update process. The technician should return to the vehicle after the prescribed time to finish the procedure. During this time, DO NOT start the vehicle, operate any other vehicle systems, eject the CD or power down the COMAND unit. Any significant voltage drop in the vehicle could abort the update process. A partially completed update may render the COMAND unit inoperable. If the update procedure is interrupted, aborts or takes longer than 1 hour, remove the COMAND fuse F4 (located under rear seat) for 30 seconds and restart procedure.

    DO NOT insert a navigation CD into the COMAND unit if a download via CD-ROM has not been completed successfully. You may not be able to eject the navigation CD because the COMAND unit will remain in the download-mode.

  10. Depress the rotary knob to accept the message and complete the update process. COMAND will return to radio mode.
