Save Users Memory

Save Users Memory




When replacing the navigation unit, this function allows the dealer to transfer the client's personal data to the new navigation unit. The transferred information includes their Setup settings, and personal addresses. The dealer inserts a PC card to the 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 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 client's data from the original 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 navigation unit (with a flashlight) for damage.

2. After installing the client's original DVD in the new navigation unit, allow the system to boot up. Insert the PC card in the new navigation unit and enter the "Save Users Memory" in the navigation system diagnostic mode.




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

NOTE: If the IMPORT button is grayed out, check if the "Model" and the "Program Flash" show on the "Version" screen are the same.







PC Card FAQs




Solar Angle
This screen graphically displays the sun's position as determined by GPS. The climate control system uses the navigation systems sun angle, along with the sunlight sensor to control the driver/passenger A/C air flow. The heat that the climate control unit removes varies, depending on the angle of the sun entering the vehicle. This screen is for factory use only, and should not be adjusted.
- The screen shows a circular diagram of the sky oriented in the direction that the vehicle is pointing. During daylight hours a red dot is shown, representing the direction and elevation of the sun. The outer circle represents the horizon (0 degrees elevation). The middle circle is 30 degrees, the center circle is 60 degrees, and the very center is directly overhead (90 degrees).
- "Manual Tuning" should always be OFF (yellow).
- The "Angle", "Dir", and "Reliability" settings are used by the factory to simulate the sun's position for debugging this function.
