SERVICE INFORMATION

This bulletin describes the SD Card exchange/replacement procedure related to error messages that may be displayed on the Navigation screen when the incorrect SD Card is inserted.

NOTE: Only new models (during PDI inspection or at the point of purchase) or compatibility mismatches that occur after head unit replacement will be considered for this program.

An example of the error messages that may be displayed on the navigation screen are shown below:

NOTE: If the Navigation system displays an error message  with the words SD Card or Map  in the description of the message, the Navigation system has identified a mismatch of the head unit s/w with the inserted map version.
Navigation or SD Card replacements for the incorrect handling of delivered parts are NOT covered under warranty.  In all mismatch cases, MnSOFT can assist with identification of the correct matching SD Card and, in certain cases, complete a replacement through this program.
