System Diagnostic Mode: Version

This screen displays the current version information for the navigation system software. In addition, this screen allows the loading of updated software if requested by the factory, or instructed by a Service Bulletin. Software may be loaded from a CD or a PC card.

• Program Flash: Displays the version of the navigation software in memory.
  NOTE: The last two letters of the Program Flash or DVD fields indicate which DVD is installed in the unit. The letters KA imply that a United States DVD is installed. If the letters are KC, then a Canada DVD is installed. (See coverage discussion below.)
• Program Disc: If displayed, this value represents the version of the navigation software on the navigation DVD.
• IPL, APL, DBOOT, and System uCom, are all for factory use.
• Model: For this model, the field should begin with SJA.

There are two navigation DVDs produced for this model.

• The white navigation DVD labeled United States is for the US market and contains maps for the contiguous 48 US states, Hawaii, and some southern portions of Canada.
• The gray navigation DVD labeled Canada, is for the Canada market, and contains maps for all of Canada, plus some of the northern US states. If clients with this DVD require full US coverage (including states like Florida and Texas), they may purchase a United States navigation DVD by contacting the DVD fulfillment desk.

An older navigation DVD cannot be used in a navigation unit that is uploaded with newer software. You may see this error if you order a new navigation unit as it may arrive with a higher software version loaded into its memory.

You may also see this error if a client inserted a newer navigation DVD into their unit. This is why it is never recommended that you show a client a new navigation DVD by inserting it into their current vehicle. Once the newer software is uploaded, they will see an error message when they reinstall their original navigation DVD.
