SERVICE INFORMATION

The navigation system (if equipped) in the Applied Vehicles listed above has an HDD (Hard Disc Drive) map data storage system. This bulletin contains the information and instructions for updating/upgrading the map data with a new version.

An instruction manual for HDD Navigation Updates is also available in ASIST under Select Specialty Tools > HD Navi. Tools > Hard Drive Navigation Update Manual.

When new versions of map data are available, customers can purchase a Coupon Number via the internet at www.nissannavigation.com or by calling NAVTEQ at 1-866-462-8837. The customer then takes their vehicle, along with the Coupon Number, to a Nissan dealer to have the new version of map data installed into their navigation system. The time needed to install the new map data into the vehicle is approximately 30 minutes.

The HDD update kit (P/N: J-48850-A) is required to perform map data updates. One HDD update kit was shipped to each dealership in the fall of 2008 as part of the essential tool program. See page 28 for kit details.

Make sure to use the newest Map Data Master Discs (2 disc set) when performing HDD Navigation Map Data Upgrades.

As of the publication date of this bulletin the newest disc set is 2012MY (11-12).
Additional Master Discs are available from TECH-MATE at 1-800-662-2001.
