Mk-3 navigation
10. After coding is done the DIS/MoDiC
instructs you to follow the instructions on
the monitor for the installation of the
Navigation System CD ROM.
11. Place the navigation system software in the
navigation computer CD drive.
Important: Do not switch the ignition off during the
software loading procedure. Do not use any soft-
ware for the Mk-3 earlier than CD V15.0.
12. Once loading has been completed, remove the
CD and then confirm completion by pressing
the rotary push-button on the monitor.
13. Turn off the key for 10 seconds, then turn it
back on and conduct a functional check.
14. After this step has been finished, encode the
navigation computer using the “Recoding” path
in ZCS Coding. The coding process involves
coding vehicle specific data: VIN, Model,
Telematics data etc.
The software status can be confirmed from the
“Set” screen for Mk-3 systems.
3 = Third generation system Mk-3.
1 = Device variant (1=Color screen, 2= MIR
monochrome screen).
20 = Software version of the graphic
component (Version 2.0).
After the navigation computer has been successfully programmed and coded the vehicle
should be left in an area with a clear view of the sky with the key in KL R for at least 15 min-
utes to complete the calibration process.

Review Questions
1. List the most signoficant changes made to the Mk-3 navigation computer over the
previous Mk-2.
2. How can the signal provided by the gyro sensor to the navigation computer be
checked?
3. Describe how the display signals are transmitted from the navigation computer to the
MIR and board monitor.
4. What step is necessary before loading the navigation computer operating software CD
on a newly replaced navigation computer? Where can the software status be confirmed
after it has been loaded?
5. How is the VIN entered into the navigation computer?
