Navigation Unit Removal/InstallationSRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component location.
Also review the precautions and procedures in Restraint Systems before doing repairs or service.
NOTE:
- Before replacing the navigation unit, back-up the customer data using system diagnostic mode Save Users Memory under the functional set up.
- If the navigation unit is replaced or disconnected, a Map Matching must be done.
- Put on gloves to protect your hands.
- Take care not to scratch the dashboard and related parts.
- Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or other damage.
- Do not work in a dusty or dirty place.
- Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work.
- Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands.
- Do not work with dirty hands.
- Be careful not to fold the flat plate cable.
- Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands. (If you have touched it, wipe it off thoroughly.)
- Before replacing the navigation unit, make sure to remove the customer's navigation DVD, and their audio CD, or PC card. Remanufactured navigation units do not come with a navigation DVD. Re-install the customer's navigation DVD, audio CD, and audio PC card into the new remanufactured unit. If the navigation display won't open, manually remove the navigation DVD, audio CD, and PC card.

Doing the DVD transfer without doing software patches may cause the new navigation unit to appear to be malfunctioning.
